Terry G Posted October 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2019 I have never seen a KG Luke officer cap ega. Or an enlisted KG Luke of any kind altho I know there is a possible example of those in the Klie book. I've been told by an old time collector that KG Luke did not make cap ega's. Is this correct? Thanks for any thoughts in general on KG Kuke ega's. Cheers, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted October 19, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2019 Correct, no cap emblems have ever been discovered, and I imagine they would have turned up by now it they existed Enlisted collar emblems existed, the continents were simply indented outlined on the globe, vice the officer separately applied ones. Enlisted are much scarcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgee Posted October 19, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2019 Agree. No known Luke USMC visor hat EGAs. Why? Probably no demand as the overseas cap was the predominent headgeargear down under. My 2-cents. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted October 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2019 ....Thanks for any thoughts in general on KG Kuke ega's. In general a distinctive design worthy of a place in any collection, provided you select a pair that are life long mates. The enlisted variant are merely the officer style w/o the applied continents. It’s hard to imagine many are around, as they were purchased and the enlisted collar devices were issued. In any case, there no evidence I’m aware there were any quantities made specifically made or marketed to the troops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0811gysgt Posted October 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 21, 2019 Can anyone post a picture of the Enlisted KC LUKE version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted October 21, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2019 Identical to the Officer collar emblem, simply lacks the applied continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
