doyler Posted January 7, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2018 I agree good cover I think these large eagles pre date Korea/53 dated covers but that's just me Seen one in a foot locker group years ago and the guy had been In Japan during the occupation and never served in the post war reserves from what I recall or acquired it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27Division18 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted October 12, 2019 Do you know which side of the camo cover was favored by Marines in the field? Was it the green or the grey/ash side?

olivedrab1970 Posted October 12, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 12, 2019 Do you know which side of the camo cover was favored by Marines in the field? Was it the green or the grey/ash side? Thank you Late 40's early 50's. I bet you could research when the Commandant of the USMC issued an order/revision of the EGA being added to the camo cover and field cover. That is usually where this type of thing originates, I know from personal experience R.D. Semper Fidelis- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas Raider Posted October 20, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2019 Hi, can anybody tell me what time period is this USMC cover? Here is a picture of the label. It came on a front seam helmet. The green side is a leaf pattern. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
