luft Posted June 21, 2016 Share #278 Posted June 21, 2016 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 T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrat Posted November 15, 2016 Share #279 Posted November 15, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share #280 Posted November 17, 2016 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... -Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerradtgrant Posted February 20, 2017 Share #281 Posted February 20, 2017 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.

KurtA Posted February 20, 2017 Share #282 Posted February 20, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Lane Posted February 20, 2017 Share #283 Posted February 20, 2017 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.

BBG Posted February 20, 2017 Share #284 Posted February 20, 2017 The two air service collar disks at the top have pin backs. What's does "PEA" on the lower left disk stand for? Be nice:) Here's the backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a standard to have a Robbins makers mark? I own several different collar disk and haven't seen one with a makers mark. 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. - Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Posted August 2, 2017 Share #292 Posted August 2, 2017 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?

hatchet Posted September 8, 2018 Share #295 Posted September 8, 2018 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.
