Catfishcraig Posted April 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2020 The EGA stamp and USMC FONT seem to be off on this P44 jacket. Am I wrong, is this a repro? Thanks Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted April 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2020 What font? This is hand drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfishcraig Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks Im thinking maybe done by hand as well. Maybe over an old stamp. Here is the best picture of the weave I can get, but it looks Marine to me. Its up for sale on eBay and Im thinking Im going to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted April 2, 2020 Share #5 Posted April 2, 2020 I have seen hand-drawn rank insignia on Marine HBT's, so a hand-drawn pocket EGA stamp would not surprise me. A reproduction would almost certainly have an iron-on EGA and try to look real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted April 2, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 2, 2020 Ah, that helps. Marine weave. Didn*t P44 HBT shirts have the eagle clutching the *Semper Fidelis* ribbon in its beak in the EGA stamp?
