Can someone please give me an approximate date or era of the EGA's in post number 24. Would also appreciate a value.

Thanks.

This style was used from 1937 into the 50s.

Can't really place a value on trenched emblems. Vary piece by piece since they are unique. Some bring low amounts, some high.

There is a campaign cover on ebay with this early EGA on it. I know the cover is army, but I'm mostly interested in the EGA. I have seen one before, but don't remember its origins. Does anyone have any info on this EGA? Thanks.

Trenched, early variant. Some are marked made in England, others are not

I thought it might be trenched, but couldn't put my finger on how it might have been modified. What do you think Brig?

Wing is cut from the anchor crossbar, and both are bent upwards. A simple, common way these birds were subtly trenched at times

I picked these up on ebay a little while ago with a small group of EGA's It was a small group cant remember exactly how many right now, but I would say less than 10 emblems. There wasn't anything I was particularly going after in the group, but the price ended up being fairly good so I won the lot. Any way, when the group came in, I noticed toat these two were bent and I put them aside. I finally took a look at them a few weeks ago and noticed that they were both "Trenched" or bent on purpose to give them an extra Flare.

They were not an original pair, as one of them has a short post as seen on the Overseas cover emblems, but I do believe that they were matched together many years ago and have now been together for a long time
