SA1794 Posted April 29, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2015 I came across this apparent eagle hat badge and would like to know if it is military. If so, what does it go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted April 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 29, 2015 Give a few dimensions and describe it.Any marks on the back or makers name or a pattern?Some issue items will be marked Acid Test or AMICO, LUXEMBURG etc.Most are plain. Im guessing it has a threaded post and nut to secure it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA1794 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted April 29, 2015 OK, I have moved on to a REAL computer and can now post some pics! there are no hallmarks on the item. Yes, it has a thread post and pins on each wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted May 2, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 2, 2015 Eagles like the pattern shown can be anything from a High school band or military school,etc. There were eagles similiar in pattern worn on dress helmets in the late 1880s but Im thinking they had loops on the back for attackment.I dont have any refferance material at hand but maybe this will give you a bit of info(although weak) to steer your in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobskielpaso Posted March 10, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 10, 2016 looks similar to some of the hat badges worn by various military school or academies (ie. ROTC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
