teufelhunde.ret Posted May 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2009 Beautiful matching set - would be very difficult to find as these are very obsecure... in any condition. These will make some EGA collector or someone looking to finish a uniform very happy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=190305476771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpw_42 Posted May 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 9, 2009 Beautiful EGAs! I've passed the link on to a friend who'd like a set to wear on his uniform, but I bet these will be too rich for his blood (even as a senior officer, with a wife and 3 kids, that's a lot of coin!). Thanks for the link! Thrasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxx Posted May 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 11, 2009 I apologize in advance because I dont have my book handy, but shouldn't all the birds in a matched set be standing tall? Or were the cover insignia always squatting when the collar insignia were standing?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted May 11, 2009 ..... Or were the cover insignia always squatting when the collar insignia were standing?. Correct. The Meyer cap design always had short and or squating eagle. here is an early 37 version still using the hand tooled stempling across the globe... and new design of the anchor rope here is a WW2 and latter design distingushable by the machine stemping across the Globe. s/f Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a dress pair of 1920s EGAs for a uniform as well but I really don't need the cover insignia. I'd love to give them a go but with today's economy and that I'm putting out $500-1,000 a month to keep my oldest daughter and her family in their home, it would be a real stretch even with the price where it is now. However, I'm sure the price still has more room to grow in the last several minutes of the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpw_42 Posted May 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 14, 2009 However, I'm sure the price still has more room to grow in the last several minutes of the auction. They closed at $747.xx...so grew some more at the last minute, but "not too much." Still a beautiful set of insignia - they just don't make 'em like that anymore. I don't think my buddy Mike was the winner, either:( Thrasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
