cthomas 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. 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 WANTED! WWI Aero Squadron items such as insignia, uniforms & my favorite- PHOTOS!

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. WANTED! WWI Aero Squadron items such as insignia, uniforms & my favorite- PHOTOS!

hatchet Posted September 8, 2018 My grandfather's collar disks (artillery). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatchet 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mndoughboy1918 Posted January 9, 2019 My grandfather was in Company B, 140th Infantry Regiment. If I've understood the previous posts correctly, there are two combinations of collar discs he could have worn: 1) "US" on right, "140" + crossed rifles + "B" on left 2) "US" + "140" on right, crossed rifles + "B" on left Is this correct? ---------- Posting my grandfather's WWI diary and letters at http://mndoughboy1918.com Twitter: @mndoughboy1918 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repbrock Posted March 7, 2019 50th Artillery Rgt, C.A.C -although trained in France, this regiment did not see combat before Armistice was signed. Bronze disk with standard threaded post & nut. The 50th Artillery CAC never ordered this collar disk. They used a US 50 disk. Although that's not to say that some member of the 50CAC didn't take it upon himself to use a disk he obtained. These disks were used by companies for the most part. Do this example would belong to the 50th Artillery Company Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
