USMCRECON Posted April 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2011 I just got this pair of KG Luke EGAs. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon an Australian-made Vandegrift jacket for sale by a forum member. Amazingly, it was named to a Marine who, in 1967, was my First Sergeant in Recon and I HAD to have it. Of course, the lapels weren't punched for screw-back EGAs so I HAD to find a pair of Aussie-made pin-back EGAs to complete it. Another forum member came to the rescue and now I have "completed" the jacket with KG Luke EGAs and here they are.....This is the front of the Luke EGAs.
