See the scans. This is a genuine WWI U.S. Marine Corps helmet or hat emblem. It is the large size 1 1/2" insignia, nice quality and appearnace. It has the usual threaded post reverse and is missing the nut. Generally VF condition. Nice bronze age finish. I am not sure if this has a period solder repair to the reverse inside the globe w the threaded post is or if that is how it was made. When I was first collecting back in the early 1970's, t were lots of WWI Marines still alive and these used to sell for $5! T is scarcely a WWI Marine alive and these now bring $75 - $125. NOTE: I am very good about getting my orders out promptly, sometimes same day and almost always within 24 hours. However, lately the U.S. postal "service" has been very spotty. In the last several months, I have had first class insured items take over a month to California and two weeks in New York State. Most are delivered in a timely fashion, but a few are not. NEW RULES FOR 2007 - NO OVERSEAS SALES, CANADA AND U.S. ONLY. Sorry about that, but my airmail small packets are being stolen enroute to England and Belgium. ALSO: ALL ITEMS MUST HAVE AT LEAST MINIMUM ($50) INSURANCE. NO EXCEPTIONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Buyer pays $3.00 for insured postage. I will combine postage on multiple orders. PAY PAL, check or money order, please. Thanks. George B. Harris, P. read more
