Marc Garlasco Posted September 22, 2025 #1 Posted September 22, 2025 Any thoughts on what the eagle is? thanks!
warguy Posted September 22, 2025 #3 Posted September 22, 2025 Marc, I have no idea on the eagle and have never seen that associated with WWI Marines. That sure is a beautiful and original WWI patch through. You might try looking at some fraternal organizations, might be a possibility this vet was involved in one of those post war. Good luck.
MAW Posted September 22, 2025 #4 Posted September 22, 2025 Agree with the above - excellent original patch. No idea about that add-on eagle. Fraternal is a good guess.
KurtA Posted September 22, 2025 #5 Posted September 22, 2025 With the downward swept wings, it closely resembles some older French imperial eagle designs. Perhaps it's something he acquired over there and, at some point, pinned it to his patch? Any hallmarks on the reverse? If so, could provide a clue as to country of origin.
Marc Garlasco Posted September 22, 2025 Author #6 Posted September 22, 2025 Sadly nothing on reverse. Thanks all!
