Would love to find a USN pin like this--but to all the Marines out there--thanks for your service, Semper Fi, Mack!

That's what I did on a casual sporran--my EAWS and FMF and a 2nd Class crow. Kinda crowded with that FMF being so large compared to the wings.

I believe that various USN badges are available from Alexis Malcolm Kilts. Check out this page and scroll around.

They really look good. But, beside the weight, the pins on the EGA itself go through holes in the strap. This leaves very little pin sticking out and by the time it also goes through the hat, the pin clasps do not grip very well.

Alexis Malcolm sells kilt pins for all the US military services. I love my USAF kilt pin.
