This one is from my personal collection. I use to heavily collect marksmanship related items, but have decided the thin the herd and refine the focus lately. Group includes the named Good Conduct Medal, Divisional Match Badge, and Marine Corps Match badge. The Good Conduct is officially engraved, however the shooting badges are now. Fortunately, the Marine hand-etched his initials on the rear of both, and’DWC’ can be seen. According to the Muster Rolls, this Marine was a trumpeter in the band who served at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Quantico, and I believe he metaled at Quantico in 1925. These early badges don’t appear often, and it’s even tougher to find attributed badges that weren’t engraved. Nice little research project… I can’t imagine many bandsmen were metaled in the matches!

Offered is a very rare piece of Marine Corps headgear that is missing from most collections. This is a overseas / theater made USMC officer’s “piss cutter” garrison cover / hat. Distinctly Marine with the scarlet and gold metal bullion wire trim and sand cast French made EGA. I wish this one could talk. No doubt worn by a member of the first AEF group of the 4th Brigade5th and 6th Marines and 6th MG Bn. These were made in France and Germany on leave from the front, and on occupation duty through 1919. Beautiful high quality construction as would be typical for an officer.

Here is a summary from his Wikipedia page. Thomas Eugene Bourke (May 5, 1896 January 9, 1978) was a United States Marine Corps general who, during World War II, commanded Marine artillery units at the Battle of Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Leyte. At the end of World War II, he commanded the 5th Marine Division in the occupation of Japan, and the Fleet Marine Force, Pacific BiographyEdit Bourke was a native of Robinson, Maryland, and a graduate of St. Johns College, Annapolis, Maryland. He was commissioned in 1917 after service in the Maryland National Guard along the Mexican border. While en route to Santo Domingo for his first tour, he and 50 recruits were diverted to St. Croix, becoming the first U. Troops to land on what had just become the American Virgin Islands. Post-World War I tours included service at Quantico, Parris Island, San Diego, and Headquarters Marine Corps.
