ViewfinderGyrene Posted November 4, 2015 Share #26 Posted November 4, 2015 Definatey a different finish to them. Makes them easy to identify Korean War Era. I dig the gun metal finish on them too. Interesting, because the Marine who was issued the blouse didn't serve past '46. Guess these were put on postwar, either by him or by someone else... Sorry to get off the track of this thread, excellent displays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskjl Posted December 25, 2016 Share #31 Posted December 25, 2016 I bought a bag of about 40 at an antique store here in Anchorage and have horse traded for a few and the rest came from EBay and garage sales. It's taken 3 years but it's getting there, nothing like my old collection, it had a lot more officer pieces. Over time i may be able to rebuild it back to its former self.

Bluehawk Posted December 25, 2016 Share #32 Posted December 25, 2016 Brig... In this thread, on post #4, in the bottom photograph to the right hand side, I see on plate holders what appear to be 2 discs (?) with EGA... What was/is the function/purpose of these "discs" - what are they? ( btw, we gave our son the EGA we got from you for his birthday, which is 10 Nov ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 26, 2016 Share #33 Posted December 26, 2016 it's a spin mold for cover/belt buckle sized M55 emblems, good for soft metal such as zinc I hope your son enjoyed the emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Jack Posted November 4, 2017 Share #40 Posted November 4, 2017 Here is my meager effort at WWII USMC ega's. Virtually all are enlisted. Really nothing compared to the outstanding groupings shown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted November 18, 2017 Share #47 Posted November 18, 2017 Nice displays... I bought a few pairs of emblems shortly before deployment and, naturally, returned to having forgotten where I put them. Packing up for PCS, I recently found them...couple I forgot I had even bought. Here soon I will have a whole new moto room to spend my time arranging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quarter Posted February 8, 2018 Share #48 Posted February 8, 2018 Here is my small display. Just bought the two Marine Raider insignia. Impressive collections from everyone btw! Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipe.Guy Posted February 11, 2018 Share #49 Posted February 11, 2018 My updated EGA display. The EGA in the small Riker on top was my Grandad's. He gave it to me on the Peatross Parade Deck after the family day ceremony. 50 years (almost to the day) after his Drill Instructor presented it to him.
