Rare Spanish-American War USMC EM Hat Badge Worn on Side of "Rough Rider" Campaign Hat

This is a United States Marine Corps enlisted man hat badge from the Spanish-American War. The badge is an eagle, globe and anchor, and would have been worn on the side of a "Rough Rider"-style "campaign" hat, holding the flap up to the side. The badge is made of thin stamped brass and very lightweight.

Circa 1898.

Approximately 1-1/2" in height and 1-1/2" in width.

Stamped brass.

Two prongs.

None.

This is from a United States Marine Corps collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJX12 LCDEX4/12 SCDEX112/12

6 (Fine+): The badge shows some moderate wear and tarnish and has a few small spots of oxidation.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
