ChuckyD Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted April 3, 2018 1877 officer dreas emblems aka patrol jacket EGAs!Here’s the link to the forums reference section:http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/145102-early-patrol-jacket-emblemsmatched-pair/ My apologies for that confusion!

warguy Posted April 3, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 3, 2018 Nice set. As you stated Chuck the uniform these are intended for is often called the patrol jacket. The jacket very much resembles the British officers jacket of the same time frame, and the British jacket was more popularly called the patrol jacket, but that nomenclature has bled over to the the Marine model as well. I knew from your title exactly what you were referring to Very hard to find matched set of these ega’s. You did well for yourself. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted April 4, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 4, 2018 I've expressed my thoughts with you on these...but I'll reiterate... beauties. But, I'm biased, as an early EGA fan myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
