The old Austria Hungarian crest looks pretty much the same; I have some 1930’s ammo that is stamped with it. Then in 1937 or 8, I have some that has the Nazi eagle on the ball and swastika on it.
I have studied a little art and these symbols go back a long way in history.
The Marines eagle globe and anchor is much the same, they also use the Maltese cross for there sharp shooters badge. I showed mine to a friend and he thought it was an old German medal of some sort. (LOL)


Just a few words on the subject, ‘as I love studying the history of these old symbols and where they came from.

Love the planters Tom.
Oh yes Herbs, (LOL)
