Ah yes but the problem with dating this is that the 369th Med Bn was activated for the first time in May 1943 along with the 69th Inf Div, 69th Inf Div was never active before. TIOH doesn't list it. So since it is in Silver colored metal (Sterling?) than perhaps a wartime made DI for this unit.

A characteristic of an original WW2 era Eby-made DUI is the open hook catch. Possibly it's sterling and they just didn't hallmark it as such.

I'm willing to bet that if you touch a magnet to the DI, that you'll find out that it is steel rather than silver. That looks like a KILLER Ike jacket!
