byf41 Posted June 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2020 I have been hoping to come across one of these ega diamond covers at a reasonable price one day so when this one came along for next to nothing I was very happy . Its the Blue Anchor 1953 contract version In very nice used condition with diamonds on both sides . WWII swivel bail shell and I think Korean era liner . I don't know If the liner Is original to the set but this Is how I acquired It right out of the weeds . I know some of you guys are Interested In these so I thought I would share .

Dave G Posted June 29, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 29, 2020 That version has always intrigued me. There's a considerable amount of extra work involved just to add a stamped EGA which could have easily been stamped directly onto the cover. The extra material needed was not so much a big deal as there was probably plenty of cutting scraps to provide the diamond. Makes you wonder if they were produced with a special purpose in mind, for officers, etc. I've never had a chance to add one to my collection that was in my price range. That's a nice one.

Its a 1953 blue anchor cover, with these diamond ega covers you see all the cover varieties they just used whatever covers that were in the supply chain.....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
