T-Bone Posted March 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2014 Just picked up a WW I collar disc, US over 259. I thought; great! I should be able to find this, no problemo! Well, I am rather late returning to the field of US WW One insignia, and admit to still be learning. So far I have not been able to find a 259th anything during the Great War. What am I doing wrong?

Mitter2k1 Posted March 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 30, 2014 Maybe the 259 Aero Squadron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 30, 2014 I had not considered an Aero Squadron, but I can't find anything else. So????? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted March 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2014 I dug around as well and was unable to locate anything other than aero squadron. If that is the case, I'd say it is a pretty good find. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted March 31, 2014 Share #5 Posted March 31, 2014 One of thee other options here is that the collar disk could have been a salesman's sample with the number generated so that it didn't match a specific unit. I know that a number of WWII infantry officer's branch devices with "758" were manufactured by Meyer for use on their sample boards, yet a 758th Infantry didn't exist. I am simply offering this as another option, and not making a definitive statement. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
