This vintage U.S. Marine Corps campaign cover is a genuine U.S. military contract-made example dating to the 1980s and fitted with a Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor (EGA) insignia.

The interior contract marking reads DLA 100-86-C-0816, indicating a Defense Logistics Agency contract from fiscal year 1986. The traditional felt campaign cover features the distinctive four-crease “Montana Peak” crown, wide brim, brown hatband, leather interior sweatband, chinstrap, and metal EGA device.

Campaign covers have a long history within the Marine Corps and are especially associated in the modern era with Marine Corps drill instructors and other specialized duties. This example shows genuine age and use and is being offered as a vintage military collectible rather than a reproduction.

Condition

Fair to good vintage condition with visible age and wear consistent with prior use and storage. The felt shows discoloration and wear, the hatband has fading and fraying, the EGA exhibits oxidation/patina, and the interior shows staining and age. The paper size/identification label is partially damaged and difficult to read.

The size marking appears to indicate 6 1/2, but because the label is partially damaged, buyers should review the photographs carefully for condition and sizing details.
