normaninvasion Posted April 16, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2011 Any thoughts on these? Was a bit worried that these are repros, but think the details are convincing otherwise. jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted April 16, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 16, 2011 often attributed to Wolf-Browne, these clutchbacks are pretty much agreed to be post WWII private purchase emblems that generate a lot of interest. I posted a pair last year on eBay with a BIN of 60, and they sold within the first few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normaninvasion Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks. Learn something new everyday! So, not late 20s - 30s era? Look like the Meyers style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted April 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2011 nope...based off it though. the glossy finish is a good indication of post-WWII a lot of companies sold their models to other companies to use unmarked, or remarked, as private purchase. WB was known to sell a lot of private purchase on their cards, of other companies models. I've seen the typical M37 marked H&H, H&H Imperial, Sterling, Pasquale, Blackinton, Robbins Co, Meyers...probably more I'm unaware of or am simply forgetting at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a pair last year on eBay with a BIN of 60, and they sold within the first few hours Agree the emblems you have posted are of the Korea and after era, however, the design of these is a throw-back to an earlier era. This thread in the ref. sec shows what is believed to be the original design and its era of use... http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=4771 ... there are all sorts of "sleepers" out there to be found! s/f D.
