USMC –Eagle Globe and Anchor – 1880 Enlished Pattern Sterling

This is a museum quality reproduction of the extremely rare 1880-81 Enlisted EGA in Sterling Silver. This EGA is shown in Jim Moran’s Book US Marine Uniforms 1912-1940 on page 154, Figure 38. This design was used in a varity of ways from use on shoulder knots to hat device. The reproduction here is for the rare shoulder knot with the proper tabs in the back. Other versions are available. It is estimated that 1 in 50 EGAs from this period are of this design.  If you win this auction and want it in a different configuration we can exchange it at no additional cost. Here is an excellent example of one of their badges, with sterling hallmark, that is affordable until a real one comes along.
