Are These Military? Any Ideas?

[Frank_Smith]

Good morning!

 

My wife decided to go to some garage sales this morning and bought a small bag of insignia. Some were WWII Army enlisted and officer collar devices. There were also these devices. They are well made and appear to date from the 1920's to 1940's. They are not hallmarked.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to what they might be?

For some reason Im getting a feeling that the TD insignia could be Navy. But this insignia almost looks like police insignia to me too

They appear to be police. Could be Metro DC Police and the TD's stand for Traffic Division. Of course, any department can use them for whatever they call their divisions so nothing is set in stone. But, for sure police.

Thanks for the help guys! I was thinking that they may be police also but wasn't sure.

I agree its most likely not military but I have been told by a few older guys of Tank Destroyer Force wearing insignia of just TD letters prior to their insignia being adopted. Bill Emerson makes a reference to this with the enlist disks.

I agree, looks like METRO POLICE D.C..
