gfryman Posted December 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2015 Picked these up in an auction out of New Jersey, need some help figuring them out. I bought the lot because of the wings. There was a TON of China Marine items in this auction, and my gut (although pictures were not great) thought they were worth a shot. Wings measures 2 3/8" across. Wondering if maybe they are china made period wings. I've seen a couple of Navy wings with EGAs soldered on, but never anything quite like this. Nor can I find anything like them in various image galleries on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfryman Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted December 14, 2015 EGA appears to be a collar emblem, but only measures 1". Also appears to be poorly cast to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
