mds308 Posted November 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2019 I found this duo earlier today. I posted the EGA in the EGA thread. I thought it was newer due to its superb condition. Thanks to warguy I found out I was way off the mark. The cover is cloth, not wool and in really nice condition. Not bad for a whopping 65 dollars.

normaninvasion Posted November 14, 2019 Share #10 Posted November 14, 2019 Great finds! I'm going to assume these belonged to the same officer, if these found at the same place? Check for a name on the sweatband. Might be worth it to ask the person who sold them where they came from, to try to pin down the officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds308 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted November 14, 2019 No names inside either cover. They came from the same family. I do have the last name. Family had a dad in WWII and grandpa in WWI. I was told an interesting story of a doughboy who was severly wounded and the field doctors had written him off due to an evisceration. Grandpa insisted they try and save him and the soldier survived. I have a pair of WWI dog tags apparently belonging to the wounded soldier. I'll post these soon. Maybe someone can find more information on the wounded veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warguy Posted February 16, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 16, 2020 In my opinion, not a bad buy either. Not many of these are available to collectors today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
