WW2 US USMC Screw Back EGA Cap Lemon Squeezer Badge Insignia

The WW2 US USMC Screw Back EGA Cap Lemon Squeezer Badge Insignia is a cap emblem used by the United States Marine Corps during the Second World War. The insignia features the traditional Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) design, representing the Marine Corps’ global reach and naval traditions. This version is specifically designed for wear on the “lemon squeezer” style service cap, which was a standard part of the USMC uniform during the 1930s and early 1940s. The badge is fitted with a screw back attachment, allowing for secure placement on uniform headgear. Constructed typically from brass or a similar alloy, these insignia were issued to enlisted personnel and officers alike. The careful detailing of the EGA motif reflects the period’s military insignia standards. This piece serves as a representative example of USMC uniforms and insignia from the era of World War II.
