Brig Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpspartans Posted July 9, 2014 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewfinderGyrene Posted March 15, 2015 Share #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?

Bob Hudson Posted March 23, 2015 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAmules Posted January 10, 2016 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry G Posted June 1, 2019 Share #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!

The Rooster Posted June 29, 2020 Share #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.
