Any idea of a maker or of a year of manufacture?Pete Probably made within the last year... about a year ago someone was selling USMC ones that were conglomerates of different sweetheart pieces and junk jewelry.

teufelhunde.ret Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share #169 Posted February 18, 2011 It is know as a "sweetheart" piece and was based on / used the actual emblem.

Brig Posted February 21, 2011 Share #171 Posted February 21, 2011 those would be rhinestones, used in costume jewelry. I have 2 varients of that piece, myself. normally the rhinestones fall out over time because of cheap glue in the production process, so the amount of them in yours is a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted April 9, 2011 Share #174 Posted April 9, 2011 I was sorting out my EGAs this afternoon and came across this one. I thought I'd posted this a couple years ago but did a search and couldn't find it so I'm posting it now with a question. This pin-back EGA is service cover-sized but what has me puzzled is that it is all-over silver. It is tarnished more on the continents and the anchor than on the eagle and globe. It is marked H-H on one wing of the eagle and STERLING on the other. I'm wondering if it was originally for the dress blue cover and someone polished all the gold fill off or if it was originally for the green/khaki cover and someone polished all the bluing off of it. The odd thing is that there are no telltale sigh of gold plating anywhere, even on the back or under the rope. There are also no signs of bluing in any recesses. Could it have been made this way?
