WW1 USMC AEF Marine Officer’s Overseas Cap with French Made EGA
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.
