Nice stitching on that one Cobra 6. 👍

Color Cav, 1967

Thank you so much! My main goal was just to find out which are WWII and before at this time, so thank you for clearing that up. I definitely need to purchase a copy. Sometimes I get EGAs as part of groups so it would be a very beneficial purchase. I'll look through previous posts and other resources to find more details on these. If I have trouble with one I'll post it on the forum. Thanks again!

Looking great there Kenneth!! You must have found a French fountain of youth in your rural, backyard. BTW. I am glad you are running with a group of close “knit” friends. LOL. I like the displays and your wooden Jeep must be a very “poplar” addition to them. However, I am still looking forward to seeing you as the “Queasy Rider” driving your real jeep terrorizing your rural town. Don’t let me down General. A video would actually be the best record of the momentous event.   Happy Easter,   Rambob

yes, model 1840.  Blade is likely an import.  The sword could be an import, but firms also imported raw blades and assembled here.  It is a nice clean, 'import' example.  I moonlight in a CW shop, and I like swords like this as they are relatively inexpensive wall hangers.

A short time making buttons might explain why I'm not finding anything. 

Thank you. I can confirm the ID and add to my collection.

If you're going to collect EGAs, the cost of the book is less than one mistaken purchase can be.   5, 8, and 13 are the only post-WWII...most of these are pre-WWII. I wouldn't call any rare, per se, but some are certainly uncommon/more difficult to find   There's a lot here to unpack in one post. Recommend you either break these down and ask one or two at a time and/or use the search function in this forum, every pattern you've posted has been discussed here in the past.

Seen this, if this is correct then it seems they only  made buttons in WWII.   Jaffe was a manufacturer or distributor of U.S. military buttons, often found on vintage or World War II-era Army brass uniform buttons, sometimes in conjunction with manufacturers like Waterbury.   "Jaffe" appears in backmarks (the text on the back of the button), marking them as part of the production of military insignia, often in NYC.
