Brig Posted February 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2008 The three bullion here were allegedly made in England for a LT after the D-Day invasion. Just the story, so bah that. That leather one was once sewn, and was meant for the flight jackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 27, 2008 I have finished mt 2nd LT, 1st LT and CAPT so far so I thought I would get them posted. All of these pics were taken on a background grid. The squares are 1/4". First up is decals used for helmets or what ever else they would stick to. Time period is a guess but probably did not date to pre WW2. I would guess about 1943 until late 1950's or very early 1960's. I'm not sure when the adhesive backed tranfers first came out but they pretty much replaced this type decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #11 Posted March 27, 2008 Bullion examples. While bullion was used long before WW2 I suspect all of these examples were made / used between WW2 and the mid 1950's. These example are on Shade 56 elastique except for the one 1st LT that is on Tropical Worsted wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #12 Posted March 27, 2008 Elastique material with embroidered insignia. These were used from WW2 through 1956 when the change to Army Green Uniforms took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #13 Posted March 27, 2008 OD wool with embroidered insignia. These were used from 1943 through 1956 when the change to Army Green Uniforms took place. They are made for use on Ike jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #14 Posted March 27, 2008 These examples on poplin material date from WW2 to 1956. They were used on Officer Trench Coats, various parkas and other field coats. This 2nd LT example is made like bullion except there is no wire in the insignia. Standard embroidered insignia on poplin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #15 Posted March 27, 2008 Cotton material in khaki with embroidered insignia. These were for use with the khaki uniforms and OS caps.

craig_pickrall Posted March 27, 2008 Share #17 Posted March 27, 2008 OD 107 cotton material with embroidered insignia. These date from 1969 until replaced by the new uniforms just recently. Note on all of the previous CAPT bars the small piece tying the two bars together were flush with the ends of the bars. On these subdued insignia the small piece has been moved from the end to where it is slightly recessed. 2nd LT desert subdued (example received 1992) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67Rally Posted June 18, 2010 Share #21 Posted June 18, 2010 I have no idea which era these are from. They are obviously not a matched pair. They were in my uncle's cache of ribbons, uniform buttons and other devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted June 20, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 20, 2010 Note on all of the previous CAPT bars the small piece tying the two bars together were flush with the ends of the bars. On these subdued insignia the small piece has been moved from the end to where it is slightly recessed. The shape indicates those are Navy lieutenant's bars -- they're a slightly different design than Army/Air Force captain's bars.. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
