This is a museum quality reproduction of a US Marine Corp Enlisted Cover Badge that came from a 1915 Bandsmen uniform made in sterling silver with a heavy 24kt gold plate. This badge is much heavier than most of the EGA’s of the period. WWI insignia is very hard to find. Here is an excellent example of one of this insignia, with sterling hallmark, that is affordable until a real one comes along. This badge will come with a brass backing plate and nut.
