skypilot6670 Posted September 11, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2014 I would vote for Pershing .I would expect to see a WW1 victory ribbon,but that would not worry me . Nice piece. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted September 11, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 11, 2014 That's who it is. The eagle is way off - looks like an ROTC cap badge with the scroll across the top rather than the cloudburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypilot6670 Posted September 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 11, 2014 Every American Legion Post from Bar Harbor Maine to San Francisco Ca. Had a Pershing Photo.Some endorsed by the general,these ran the spectrum from good to not good.This is a not good,but it's got appeal .
