AB45 Posted February 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2015 HeyToday found.The unit has a crest German manufacturer.Watchful waiting, which unit is it? Thanks for answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavcon Posted February 22, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2015 It from the 91st Field Artillery Battalion, re designated in 1946 as the 91 Constabulary Squadron. During WWII the 91st was part of the 1st Armored Division. This piece would have had a German made pin with a circular disc holding the pin on. You can see where the disc was. This is in great shape for being found in the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted February 23, 2015 Share #5 Posted February 23, 2015 Hey Thanks for answer, Super. 50 $....nice http://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-91st-Field-Artillery-Battalion-German-Made-Screwback-DI-/221143788801 Nice DI. Remember they are asking $50.That doesn't mean it will sell or is worth that much.I would say it's a $25-30 DI, but yours is missing the screw post and nut.Maybe $10? But everything is worth is only worth what somebody is willing to pay.Still nice for a dig find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted February 23, 2015 Share #7 Posted February 23, 2015 I wasn't trying to rain on your parade.The coolest thing I ever found with a metal detector was a bootle cap.To find a DI is pretty cool.The condition, minus the missing post, is pretty good for being buried for 60 years.
