I took this ensemble in trade on some Rare insignia. Everything on the Tunic Hat and pants are 1920 period originals. The tunic is Depot marked in the sleeve and is size 4 S. The EGA devices have been on it so long that they are indented about half way through the collar see scan. The pants are depot marked and stamped size 2 M and are made of some of the heaviest wool I have ever felt. The white dress belt and buckle are correct for the 1920 period also. The hat is the very rare 1922 pattern with a correct 1920 Pattern EGA attached. This Visor Hat is shown in Roger Benders Book Equipping-The Corp because of its rare nature. The Tunic, Pants, and the Belt are all named to a man named S. Cohen and the Visor Hat is named to J. This is not unusual because everything was Government owned including the EGAs and were reissued as long as they were not damaged. The tunic pants and hat all have light moth tracking but no holes that I could find. The hat sweat band has a section with stitching missing but still is complete and not in need of repair. If you would like to own a really nice 85-90 year old USMC uniform Group give this a second glance.

Offered here is an incredibly rare and extensive French Foreign Legion medal/document group to one man, Charles Volmer (Vollmer) a. Senior NCO with 1er REC, Legion Etrangere (1st Regiment of Foreign Cavalry, French Foreign Legion). This group is absolutely original and as found. It was obtained directly from a family member of Volmer (great-grand daughter). Nothing has been pieced together or added. Volmer began service with the Legion in North Africa in the 1920s and served with them through the end of the war. After the war, Volmer continued his service with the French military police/legal administration in the French zone of Occupied Germany. The material included here are as follows – Croix de Guerre TOE medal w/ two stars, Colonial Medal w/ claps for Sahara and Maroc, Combatant’s Cross, Moroccan Order of Ouissam Alaouite Al Alaoui, ribbon bar, rank stripe, Autonomous Group 1er REC pocket badge (rare), Comité des Amitiés Africaines pocket badge, Military Police – French Zone of Military Occupation Germany pocket badge (very scarce) and General Personnel, French Zone of Military Occupation Germany pocket badge (very scarce), two photo certificates for medal awards and one French Zone of Military Occupation Hunting License along with Volmer’s pigskin leather wallet and one business card which itemizes Volmer’s decorations. Also present are six Diplome and citations for all of Volmer’s valor and service awards: Medaille Militaire, Croix de Guerre TOE, Colonial Medal, Sahara Clasp, Colonial Medal, Moroc Clasp, Combatant’s Cross, Moroccan Order of Ouissam Alaouite Al Alaoui, Volmer’s French Mle35 Motorized Troops helmet (very scarce). Also accompanying this group and included as supporting provenance is a collection of seven pieces of paper identification belonging to Volmer’s wife, issued by a variety of French civilian and military authorities, to include passport, travel and a safe conduct pass issued by the Free French Forces administration in Tunisia. Condition wise, the medals are ex-fine, the Moroccan Order having some minor enamel damage, as often seen. The Diplome and certificates are mostly good, some with minor tears, one certificate had been folded to the point of separation (happened long ago, as evidenced by ancient tape marks). The Helmet is quite nice, it’s missing one liner suspension spring hook from the inside front, the leather being mostly good, still soft with only a few minor stress issues. The paint, outside leather and badge are exceptional. All in all, this is a tremendously historic group and it represents the outstanding and courageous service of a superior soldier in an elite unit. A group of this caliber is nearly impossible to find. I’ve searched extensively and can’t find a comparable group to a Legionnaire. More pics available upon request.
