As promised I looked through my notes and have written down the following:-
EGS = Geometric Stamping Company (Ohio)
Not sure where I sourced the information so if someone can confirm would be great.
as for COC , I dont have any information at present.
(excellent example of an M129 by the way - thanks for posting additional picture)
regards Kev
