This is for 1 set of WWI ERA ReproductionUSMCCollar Disk pair, variation 1
This is an excellent set of REPRODUCTIONenlisted US. Marine Corps Collar Disks.
When Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt visited France in 1918, he authorized Marine enlisted men to wear discs depicting the Eagle, Globe and Anchor(EGA). These collar insignia were prescribed for enlisted uniforms on 5 August 1918 when Brig. GEN. W.C. Neville, USMC, authorized the 4th Brigade to procure 1\" round discs to distinguish Marines from other services. The only difference in the Marine\'s disc was the addition of the EGA, as opposed to the Army\'s \"U.S.\" and unit or rate designation. Some replacments had them and some may have been private purchase. These initial disks were bronze for the service collar. A short production run of gilt devices was made for dress collars. Only Marines serving in France and Germany wore these during the remainder of 1918 and 1919.
