Belleauwood Posted April 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2009 Could some of the EGA collectors let me know what time frame and possible maker is on the following images. Picked this up Sat. with a few other badges and insignia. Any help is appreciated as always Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teufelhunde.ret Posted April 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2009 Hi Dennis, post WW1 say early 1920's.... to 1926 or so. Maker - give me a few moments to study. s/f Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted April 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2009 Dennis, judging solely by the shape of the continents & stempling of the globe - my hunch is of Gemsco production. In reality could be any number of makers... as so many I've seen from the era / period in time were not hallmarked, even Fire Bronze were unmarked and I have no answers nor heard any reasonable explanation for it? The shape / design of the eagle was very commonplace as well Semper Fi, Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough shape for sure, but I'm weak. Thanks for the insite - Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted April 13, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2009 .... Rough shape for sure, but I'm weak. In the decade of the 20's there were only around 1000 Officer's in service - an EGA in any condition is a keeper! There is a mate out there somewhere for it... s/f Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted October 4, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 4, 2009 this sold for roughly 60 bucks, went ignored in light of the 14K auction...seems flatter than most emblems, clutchback. Never seen it before. Anyone have any info on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted October 4, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 4, 2009 Looks like an unmarked H&H first type. I've always associated that pin set up with mid to late 20s and 30s era pieces. Darrell will probably have some examples for you to compare it too. Wonderful pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree - the shape / outline is the giveaway. Here is an example of the H&H pattern in Fire Bronze. Someone got a deal...! s/f Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
