TheMariner Posted October 10, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2017 Hey Jay, Post 1950- this insignia as a metal badge was not authorized for wear until Sep 1950, all of the WW2 examples are cloth! Though these are almost always sold on ebay and other sites as being from WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zsmith Posted October 10, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 10, 2017 Officers had gold dolphin pins in WWII. Enlisted had cloth until the silver dolphin pin became standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh B. Posted October 10, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 10, 2017 Lighting is bad, but they look gold to me. Hallmark also indicates gold filled. All consistent with WW2 examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
