Just picked up this gold Gunners rank, USMC. Rear marked with the Meyers shield and USMC359...not the typical M over 9 post-war Meyers shield though. Both pins broken. I'm thinking maybe 1950s? any seconds?

some fantastic insignia...why the silver varient? what uniform was that worn with?

:think: I cannot recall any of the other services using "gunner" insignia. Can it be an unfinished or was the finish stripped from the insignia for some reason ?

The good thing about moving is sometimes you find things you forgot you had. That may be the only good thing about moving... :blink:

 

While packing up stuff I came across the following small group. I thought you guys might enjoy:

Marine Gunner F was a wartime warrant and reverted to his enlisted status in Fall 1919. I imagine the photograph was taken in 1919 just as Mr F was about to revert to First Sergeant.
