Brig Posted July 7, 2014 Author #51 Posted July 7, 2014 many thanks! where do you find things like this? or do you just have to get lucky? david - gpspartans Generally I get replacements off of other EGA's, usually ones that are in rough shape, etc...when you find a small lot or a loose one. There are a couple of sellers on eBay who occasionally have small groups of 5-10 rollers for sale but seem to want too much for them I get a lot of loose singles here and there, some in real rough shape. If I need a roller, I just take one from one of those
Bob Hudson Posted July 7, 2014 #53 Posted July 7, 2014 many thanks! where do you find things like this? or do you just have to get lucky? david - gpspartans Go to ebay's militaria section and search for the keywords insignia nuts
gpspartans Posted July 9, 2014 #54 Posted July 9, 2014 what if you have the hangman hallmark, marked sterling & GI? sterling indicates earlier, at least 50's, but the GI puts it 1965 and after.
ViewfinderGyrene Posted March 15, 2015 #55 Posted March 15, 2015 Saw an H&H Expert Rifleman I'd like to pick up but haven't seen the WWII-period hallmarks on here yet. Clutchback, it has the H&H emblem, below that "STERLING", and then below that a number and letter sequence I can't make out in the photo available... What era?

ViewfinderGyrene Posted March 23, 2015 #57 Posted March 23, 2015 Below the "STERLING" I read "SER 695" That's what I thought, but couldn't be sure...
Bob Hudson Posted March 23, 2015 #58 Posted March 23, 2015 Below the "STERLING" I read "SER 695" That's "modern era" - late 50's at the earliest, most likely 1960's-70's.
ViewfinderGyrene Posted March 23, 2015 #59 Posted March 23, 2015 That's "modern era" - late 50's at the earliest, most likely 1960's-70's. Thanks for the ID, sir!
gpspartans Posted April 8, 2015 #60 Posted April 8, 2015 can we date H & H by markings? I have several EGA's including H & H and am trying hard now to date the EGA's. Can't wait for the book. Bought one the other day that BLOWS!
gpspartans Posted April 11, 2015 #61 Posted April 11, 2015 H-24-N am I wrong or is this Hilborn & Hamburger Navy? anybody can date this wing?
GOAmules Posted January 10, 2016 #64 Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks to -Brig for identifying this weekend pickup for me. I thought I'd post it here too, since the marking is so hard to really see. If you don't know them....which I didn't.
Wedgehead30 Posted November 24, 2016 #65 Posted November 24, 2016 Here's a mini Trident. H&H Eagle with 24N.
easterneagle87 Posted May 21, 2018 #66 Posted May 21, 2018 Found this little "anchor" Marked "sterling" and with the H&H mark. What were these used for? sweetheart?
Terry G Posted June 1, 2019 #68 Posted June 1, 2019 Picked up a USMC officer service cap ega with the H-H mark but also numbers that look like SER 209 or possible 200. This was sold as WWII vintage but I have my doubts, thinking more like 1950's-1960's. Anybody have an idea as to age of ega's with this kind of mark? Thanks for the help! Regards, Terry

L11-VELASCO Posted June 20, 2020 #70 Posted June 20, 2020 Hi Gents Could you date these 2 USMC EGA visor cap officer, in the one from top the reverse bears the “H-H” mark of Hilborn Hamburger and is also marked “Ser. 209”, and the one with stickpin:Reverse with H-H and “Sterling” mark, measures 1-1/4″ X 1-3/8″
L11-VELASCO Posted June 21, 2020 #71 Posted June 21, 2020 Please,Nobody could help me dating these EGAS???
The Rooster Posted June 29, 2020 #72 Posted June 29, 2020 prob Vietnam era. That SER 209puts it past ww2. During WW2 yu would have the hallmark and metal content. I think they started assigning numbers like ser209 etc in the mid to late 1950's. Eventually they were switched to numerical codes and no company hallmarks.
