The globe on the U. Marine emblem signifies continuing historical service in any part of the world. The eagle represents the United States.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!


This vintage hat has some wear from normal use. There is a piece of leather trim off the bill of the cap. It looks like G. The date written in the hat looks like 1925, but I can not be sure. The EGA is not marked. (Please see photos for more details). Additional photos available upon request. Please specify details you would like to see more clearly. Most items not sent internationally.

This is a full size USN Aviator’s wing with an EAG appliance added to the center shield of a US Naval Aviator’s wing and thus designating a USMC aviator. This USMC wing style was not officially designated but was certainly worn. This wing is d ie struck but its maker is unknown as it is unmarked! While it is one of the most beautiful such wings I have ever seen, recognize that I’m reluctant to claim it is actually authentic to the era because it just looks too good and lacks the patina I would expect to see on such a wing of that age. I’ve also looked closely at the attachments of the pin bases to the wings in order to ascertain whether they are soldered or electronically welded. There is no bubbling as would be expected as a result of electronic welding. Electronic welding was not available until the late 1950s. The pin retraction is on a 70-80° angle and weighs 14 g m. Please consider viewing my other listings and adding me to your “favorites” list as I will be listing many more interesting and unusual items in the future-particularly wings & badges.
