vzemke Posted May 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2016 I acquired this a few weeks ago as part of a small grouping of 1930's thru 1940's US Army patches. The seller seemed to have no idea what this was, and it was just part of the lot. EGAs are not my speciality, but I know these particular ones can be a minefield. Any thoughts on if this one is good? Thanks, Vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwigh1980 Posted May 12, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 12, 2016 Looks like a correct China Marine Legation Mounted Detachment (so called Horse Marines) fur cap or cover device to me. Nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted May 13, 2016 Share #10 Posted May 13, 2016 Looks legit to me, as well. 99% of those on the market are fake, so not an insignificant find. I am yet to add any to my own collection because of the scarcity of good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted May 13, 2016 Share #11 Posted May 13, 2016 Agreed looks right to me as well. Nice find I have been looking for a while and not found one yet. 10 years and counting here. The wait is long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
