hi

 

Nothing rare or exceptional her, but a decent pair, found in Lorraine, few years ago. Just dug them out during some researches in my insignias

Btw, have a question (i don't know if it's the right place) for a future display about a NG unit, the 144th Infantry of 36th ID. Can I put a US "standard" disk or in regard that is a NG unit called in Federal service, USNA or USNG disk will be more correct. Last question, if soldier is affected to a MG platoon inside a Company (i.e H Coy), should he wore is Regiment/Company disc or a generic one where Coy letter were reimplaced by MG?

Thanks for help

My small but growing Type I disk collection. The USNG and TEX were given to me by my VFW commander. The others I have picked up at our local Antique Mall for $8 a piece. He has a few more and I plan on picking up the rest soon.

I thought I'd finally post my WWI aviation disc collection along with some miscellaneous junk ;)

If you look closely, you'll see some unique variations on a theme. Enjoy!

 

It's not as neatly displayed as other collections, but you get the point...

1st Infantry with a Robbins Co Makers mark. Correct me if I am wrong on the identification. Is a standard to have a Robbins makers mark? I own several different collar disk and haven't seen one with a makers mark.

Looks to be a post WW1 disk - probably 1920's era when the 1st Infantry was part of the Second Division. Yes - unusual to see that maker mark on this type disk. Nice variation.

A few of the collar discs I've saved. As you can see, I'm not a very organized collector, or a organized human being for that matter. I do like collar brass. I feel it's an often underappreciated collectible.

That mfg mark looks legit to me...and no, it's quite uncommon to come across such discs. I only have two mfg marked ones in my collection (Robbins isn't one of them).

 

As was pointed out by another member, your disc dates from the interwar period (probably early 20's).

Jennings - any chance you can post a close up of the front & back to that aviation/US disc seen just above the Son in Service one? That looks a customized variation I haven't seen before.

All things considered would these be a highly collectible and sought after disk? Infantry and makers mark?

Sadly no. The interwar period is a big gray area when it comes to determining values on discs. They only get a fraction of the $ when compared to WWI insignia. At least that's been my experience in dealing with WWI aviation discs.

Here is my Grandfather's disk. He was a buck Sgt. in Co. K, 11th Cav. Later transferred to Field Arty.

More on him soon.

I've been sifting through these great rare discs, like this one, looking for a postal express/ running greyhound over lightning bolts- has anyone ever seen such a disc?

Thanks!

Adding to the above, he was at Camp Harry J. Jones in Arizona, near the Mexican border. Enlisted early May 1918, arrived at that camp later that month. He had immigrated to the US as a boy 9 years earlier, and was a subject of the Russian Empire (from Latvia). Naturalized as a US citizen in June 1918 while at that camp. All the affidavit and witnesses were Captains in the 302nd cavalry. Don't know much beyond that...can't find anything on Fold3.

That's an impressive collection of MP & PMD insignia … very nice.

 

What are the red MP collar tabs sewn onto? It looks sort of like a collar, but from what?
