Brig Posted July 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2009 Have a couple of more recent strike medals...an Armed Forces Expeditionary and USMC Good Conduct. One is marked L.I.G.I. and the other E.I.G.I. L.I.G.I. is for Lordship Industries, does anyone know their contract years to narrow timeframe down? I recall earlier discussions and no one was sure then, but maybe now? As for E.I.G.I. no idea who or when, can find nothing with search. Anyone out there have an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted July 4, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2009 It was HLP until about 1973 and LI (Lordship Industries) after that. I'm drawing a memory blank on EI-GI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 4, 2009 is LIGI still in use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharfmaster Posted July 5, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2009 I believe L.I.G.I. is Lordship Ind. and Graco Ind. a merger, can't remember the exact date or time period. Perhaps others can help us on the date or period of merger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejacket Posted July 6, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2009 I think EI is either Elwyn Industries or Elwyn Institute. It's an organization in Southeastern PA that provides job training and work for the handicapped. I know they had a contract a few years ago to make the ribbon bars for some of the Desert Storm/SWA medals and others. There might be another EI, but that's the only one I'm aware of.

mikeb Posted December 12, 2013 Share #6 Posted December 12, 2013 I believe L.I.G.I. is Lordship Ind. and Graco Ind. a merger, can't remember the exact date or time period. Perhaps others can help us on the date or period of merger. I believe Lordship industries is out of business. I seem to remember they were busted for selling Medals of Honor. I had newspaper articles about this, but lost all my military material about 3 years ago. It's probably on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermut99 Posted March 26, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 26, 2017 Bringing this thread back to life. I have a clutch-back army expert marksman qualification badge that has only "L.I.G.I" in slightly raised on the backside centered on the cross. Any ideas as to an era?

Reforger Posted March 26, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 26, 2017 The GI or government inspected mark was introduced around the mid to late 60's. So it should be from then or newer. Photos would help as well, as other criteria may help dating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
