WWI USMC Collar Disk, Crossed Rifles with MG above and EGA below question.

[The Lost Cause]

I recently acquired a WWI style collar disk with Crossed Rifles, with MG above and an EGA below.  I looked in Scipio's book.  It's not there, it's similar to his Machine Gun Units, on page 105, plate 11, #3, but with an EGA below the rifles.  Can anyone tell me what it is?  Thanks,  Mike Mankin

Photos would help a great deal.

I’ve collected WW1 collar discs for over 50 years and have never seen or heard of a disc like that. Photos of front and back please.

I don't know how to add a photo, too old.   I copied the ebay link, front & back...   hope it works.

With WW1 disks and patches anything is possible.  Now, to find a photo of a Marine wearing it.

Look like an army infantry MG disc with the small ega soldered on. I have the same size ega on a FdG pogey rope on a WWI Marine uniform. I don't know if it follows any regulations and like Steve said I dont remember seeing one like this.

Thank you everyone.  I appreciate the information.

I've seen these before...some people think they may have been a badge given out at a reunion, others think they're fantasy pieces. The EGA affixed is a WWII era piece often seen incorporated in sweetheart jewelry...so no matter which camp you're in, it's not period WWI

Thank you, Brig.
