Are these pre-WWII AAC DI's

[KASTAUFFER]

I recently bought an estate lot to an AAF veteran who served as an EM from 1939-42 and as an officer from 1943 until he retired in 1963.

 

In a box of insignia were these 2 pins. The little voice in my head thought they might be DI's. They are the right size.

 

He did serve in Hawaii in 1940-41.

 

Any thoughts?

Possibly Native American jewelry pins?

Not identical so, imho, probably not.

 

 

Looks like SW Indian silver.

Kurt it is 40's Navajo silver jewelry. Still cool, juts not pre-war DI's.

Thanks all, it thought it odd they were a pair and were in with his other insignia. The little voice in my head was wrong this time!

The swastika was a Native American good luck symbol
