MWalsh Posted September 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2015 That is a GREAT looking old badge, I have not personally seen one from there before. From the pin I am going to say I think it's WW2 era, maybe even a shade earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atb Posted September 12, 2015 Share #8 Posted September 12, 2015 More likely "PCD" is for Panama Canal Department, not division. The Panama Canal Division existed for a short time between the two world wars (there was also a Philippines Division and a Hawaiian Division). After WW2, the AMERICAL Division was activated and was partly based in Panama and partly in Puerto Rico before being inactivated (later to be reactivated in Vietnam).
