manayunkman Posted September 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2012 Looks like it. No reason to reproduce the Discharge. And the Sub pin was reconfigured into a tie clasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandy Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted September 7, 2012 I wondered about that, should I remove the clasp? Will never be a pin again, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted September 8, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2012 FYI. ALL ruptured ducks are from WWII era. It wasn't used before then and wasn't used but a year or two after the end of the war and never used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 8, 2012 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2012 I wondered about that, should I remove the clasp? Will never be a pin again, anyway! NO, leave as is, I imagine this was either a period jewler modified badge brought in by the EX sailor himself, or a period piece made specifically from peiod badges and sold for vets to wear with suit and tie.

manayunkman Posted September 8, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2012 I think he wore his Sub badge after the war to work and probably welded it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
