Dirk Posted February 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2011 D: Morning here is one for you to play with...By the time this picture was taken I think he was the leader of the Marine Band (1901-03?)....looks like some type of fraternal medal....don't know if you can extract any details of the EGA he is wearing...enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teufelhunde.ret Posted February 8, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 8, 2011 Dirk, we finally get to see one of these in actual use. FANTASTIC! We do have one in ref. sec. supplied by Mike, located here: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=9806 Would give the proverbial "eye teeth" to know if this shown one was screwback/pinback or wire loops...?
