Post subject: | Expanded Univ. Q: Soft Cover insignia |
Happy Saturday all ![]() With regards to soft cover Insignia, is there a general consensus as to what is acceptable? 1. For the USMC, the 8 point soft "covers" have the USMC "EGA" (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) printed in the center panel. 2. For the USN and U.S. Army, a Black anodized rank pin is worn centered on the frontal aspect of the cover, this holds true for USN personel attached to the USMC (Corpsman , Chaplin, Chaplains assitantS ).An embroidered sew on can also be utilized, 3. Seeing that the U.S.C.M. utilizes U.S. Army pattern rank stripes, I would propose the Utilization of either the appropriate black anodized pin-on device, or a sew-on embroidered insignia, again comprised of the appropriate number of chevrons. 4. I plan to sew a name tape to the back of my 8 point cover along the band, as well as blocking and starching it. How about some input from everyone, most especially from our leadership cadre'.

Gorman had a subdued rank pin on his OG 507 ballcap, so that's screen accurate (although he wore the rank sideways. ![]() Russ |

I put a black ssgt rank pin on an OD ballcap (not a typical baseball cap but a closer facsimile to the OG 507)... And left it in the rear window of my car all summer. Now it looks practically white. ![]() I was going to start a topic called "How to bleach something without bleach". ![]() Anyway I never really did wear it a lot so no big deal (at least it looks "weathered" ![]() I do wear my black Sulaco cap ("Apone's ballcap") often. As far as real EGAs go- we tend to shy away from actual USMC insignia as we don't want to step on any toes, or offend the real Marines. For instance I put together a custom USCM Dress Blues uniform two years ago. The consensus was to remove any real EGAs, and USMC rank insignia. I used Army rank insignia (keeping in line with Army rank patches in the film), plain brass buttons, and custom Delta pins. Kevin |

I have one of MAA's covers with the EGA on it- but I put a "Screaming Eagle" pin over it- not sure if they are still available though... |

On our 8 pt covers we made a stamp that looks like the eagle side of the coin |
