cutiger83 Posted August 26, 2015 Share #63 Posted August 26, 2015 A nice 166th Infantry Regiment, 42nd Division pin and a Women's Volunteer Services pin The American Women's Volunteer Services was created in 1940. This was a WWII organization and not a WWI group. While it is very nice pin, it is not an AEF pin. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted August 26, 2015 Share #64 Posted August 26, 2015 A U.S. Navy honorable discharge pin, 169th Aero Squadron pin, and another U.S. Navy pin A pair of patriotic pins and an "In Service Over There" pin I believe the first US Navy honorable discharge pin that you show was used during WWII and not WWI. Were these used in WWI? I believe the first pin with the E was also for WWII. It was an Excellence in manufacturing pin. Correct? I thought this thread was for WWI pins and I believe some of these are WWII. While everything you have shown is simply beautiful, I just don't want people getting confused. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here are examples of 2nd, 3rd and 38th Infantry, 3rd Division pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted January 20, 2017 Share #74 Posted January 20, 2017 Here's an interesting group composed of a lapel pin worn by an individual who was exempt from service, a different type of enameled service chevron pin, and a war mother pin. If you notice in post #18, the War Mothers Pin, one of the stars is Gold, the wearer lost a son while serving during WW I. If I recall correctly, the War Mothers organization was very vocal about staying out of another European war prior to Dec. 7, '41. This is a great thread! Thanks for all the nice postings.
