I wish I could answer that question. From my initial search I couldn't find any kind of maker marks on them?

Brig Posted July 29, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2016 If they are stamped, it will be a shield shape and fairly easy to overlooked on those stamped types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerradtgrant Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted July 29, 2016 OK! So when I get to them I need to look in the wing era for a maker mark. I will let you know once I take another look. Would the Meyer marking be a good thing? Sent from my m8wl using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted July 29, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2016 Always nice to find marked enlisted emblems... I have come across several stamped P1937s...unmarked, and various marking combos of NS Meyers (shield, shield & Meyers metal, etc) Marked or not, stamped P1937 EM collars are certainly less common...not necessarily much more valuable, but less common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyes are not what they use to be. But, fairly certain there isn't one. I can't see through some of the corrosion. Not sure how to clean that or if its better left untouched.

Brig Posted July 30, 2016 Share #11 Posted July 30, 2016 If left unchecked, that blue oxidation will likely spread. I'd clean with a toothbrush and toothpaste...does pretty good on brass and bronze, and I have cleaned several EGA's this way myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted July 30, 2016 Share #13 Posted July 30, 2016 I used Trader Joe's because I had a tube around. Mint toothpaste, and I'd avoid the types with gel or those little crystals mixed in...just plain, white, mint toothpaste. Run the soft bristle brush under warm water, get a good minty lather and start working it at the corrosion. Will take a while for the thicker oxidation...after you're done let it dry, you'll see if any remains. If it does, repeat. You may not get it all, but should get a lot of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
