hink441 Posted September 24, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 24, 2016 Could it be a horse bridle rosette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted September 24, 2016 It's to thin for that, I was thinking a drill instructors hat badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted September 24, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2016 Drill Instructors have always worn typical cover emblems on campaign covers Horse bridles were out of service in the Corps by the time the P1956 pattern emblem was introduced ROTC related is more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted September 24, 2016 Interesting, what about it has you placing it P1956 EGA, is it the hooked beak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted September 24, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2016 To me, the wings and general design of the emblem are consistent of the 1956 pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted September 24, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 24, 2016 Actually reminds me of the type of thing you would see that came with the 40s and 50s era kids cap pistols and dime store helmets.I remember the plastic helmets here with silver round Army eagle emblems atached to the front RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted September 24, 2016 Part of a toy kind of makes sense as it is very thin metal and the tabs are reminiscent of some of the toys i took apart as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
