Bank Vault Posted July 11, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2007 I have a set of jump wings I bought in a set that says HLP G.I. 1/20 S.F. Any ideas on era? And in the same set I bought a Army Medic badge with no markings on it. It is like it was gold or brass filled cause there is a gold tone showing through. Any ideas?

doyler Posted July 11, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2007 I would say your wings were Viet-Nam era and/or newer as the 1/20th SF(silver filled) badges are more modern.I would guess your badges have the clutch style fasteners opposed to the straight pin.Hope this helps.

none Posted August 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 4, 2007 Hint on takin pictures - do it in daylight. Paratrooper is Korean War of later made by General Insignia (GI) Medic could be WWII, a number of badges were made in brass and silver plated.

Thank you for your reference, the wings and badge were in a large group well fairly large group of stuff that belonged to a few guys wo were in the Naval Reserve in Korea and late WW2 and a Vietnam Marine Captain. There was also a set of subdued jump wings with them, I couldn't get a great picture of the back of the medics badge but hope this helps. If they are WW2 what are WW2 medic badges running retail?

Bank Vault Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted August 5, 2007 hey i got pictures and cameras and Marine and USMCR and USNR badges and all kinds of stuff for 20 bucks man so tell me I did wrong. Any idea to its authenticity? Do you know when they quit using the pin backs? Oh yeah that reminds me I have a 2nd LT bar that is pin back any idea when they quit making them with pin backs? I see a lot of you guys's collections who have collected for a few years and cry cause I have collected for 8 and I am yet to achieve half the size, but I also live in a very rural area and I have the military market locked here, I have adds all over town for people to call me if they want to sell and stuff, but i still cry , anyways thanks Charlie I see the medic badges running from 35-65. but I don't really pay attention to them, so it might vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101combatvet Posted August 14, 2007 Share #10 Posted August 14, 2007 1/20 markings usually means 1970's period. The CMB more then likely is from the late 60's to early 70's.
