This EGA has anchor angled right to left so it is correct for wear on the garrison cap. The EGA has a WWII screw back post on the reverse. Hilborn Hamburger made the insignia. T are maker stamps on the reverse. The officer's EGA is larger than an enlisted marine's, and the continents are applied to the globe. It is non-magnetic and the anchor is not fouled. Most EGA insignia are made from fine white metal or brass. The eagle is standing and the continents are applied to the globe for two-piece construction. This is indicative of officers' insignia. It measures 1 1/8 x 11/8 inches. It would look terrific on a uniform, cap or in a display mount. WWII Marine Officers' insignia are tough to locate. is your chance to pick up an original officer's EGA direct from a veteran's lot.

I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front pieces, etc, this week. Please do a seller-search using my username: martinolij to check it out. Thank you. Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing's conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Also, checks are fine but I generally clear them, and Money Orders, and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip, and I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag and delivery tracking slip. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal payments $250 and larger, a signature return receipt is mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. I will present shipping costs through several shipping options (Global Express Priority Mail and First Class) for larger items through an invoice and contact email. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat Envelope (most countries participate in Global Priority). Surface mail will not be an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. Pay Pal transactions of $250 or over will also require a signature return receipt document or another incremental method of tracking. Please factor this in your decision to bid. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war on terror, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions. I will try my best to answer all those that are received by Friday. (I am not always available on weekends when the items close.)
