CNY Militaria Posted June 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2012 I have been picking up interesting PUC variations out of insignia boxes around here lately. The top left I believe to be German made and has a silver in color frame. The ones below it I also tend to associate with theater made--perhaps British? The top right two are the standard US made ones. I have more interesting variations packed away that I will photograph soon. In the meantime, please show your PUC's!

Do you know what the I country WWII period pieces from the the Philippines would look like and who the makers were? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfields Posted June 24, 2012 Share #9 Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for the posting! Here's one I have that I assume is British made. Just noticed that the fellow put his initials on the back! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted June 24, 2012 Share #10 Posted June 24, 2012 Here are three that I have. Nothing special, nice variations. The top and bottom ones are plastic coated. The middle one has a 1/2 " ribbon. The bottom one is a Wolf-Brown clutchback without a frame. I have read somewhere that some AAF PUC's were issued without frames. It came from the estate of a WW2 AAF pilot. It was the only thing his widow would part with. I know, buy the item, not the story. Any comments on PUC's without frames? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas.

CNY Militaria Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted June 24, 2012 I once had a Wolf Brown PUC like the one you show, but the frame was loose because of sliding on the plastic. I wonder if the frame fell off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the frame fell off? Definitely a possibility, thanks CNY Militaria. I wish that I could remember where I read about PUC's without frames....but then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast!! Thanks again, Al.

CNY Militaria Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share #16 Posted June 25, 2012 Interesting French variations. I was also unaware that French troops could be awarded a PUC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchInfid3l Posted June 25, 2012 Share #17 Posted June 25, 2012 Here is my only "interesting" variation... It's enamel on brass? with a ready made hole for a device. I had posted a long time ago and the consensus was then that it was German made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one without a frame isn't a PUC at all. It's the Civil Air Patrol "Air Search and Rescue Ribbon". In fact, the all blue ribbon without a frame is a "generic", ribbon possibly used by several military outfits such military schools, and State Guards. I believe it's even used by the National Guard in some states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
