teufelhunde.ret Posted March 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2013 Beats me...? Looks like something done in the WW1 era. Screw post behind the eagle; stabilizing pin behind the anchor stock (broken) and stabilizing pin behind the anchor crown (intact). Comes out of a real old collection! Has a nice patina and aging. chocolate brown finish from the era. Anyone familiar, thoughts or opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted March 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2013 D- I don't know anything about this but it is very interesting. I can't wait to hear what some of the others think. It looks like the rope is two pieces soldered to the globe. Is that true? ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly USMC Posted March 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted March 26, 2013 I have had this guy for years (6 or 7?). It is unmarked. It came with a group of various Military Pins on ebay. The Photo was not very clear, so I took a chance. Ment to post photos several years ago, but forgot until I had seen this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted March 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2013 That's a beauty! Tsk, tsk...you've been holding out on us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcaviator Posted June 22, 2013 Share #7 Posted June 22, 2013 Nice piece Darrell. It is the service version of the MAYNARD, MIAMI officer hat device. Weird placing of the post for sure, havent seen the service version until yours. I place these to late 1940's to 1950's based off those I have seen pop-up over the years and have sold with other items that indicate that time period.
