M-1Helmet.com Posted May 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2014 Recently I obtained a nice group of 7th Field Artillery insignia. Three of the DI's are German made, Lauer marked. I think the crossed cannons are German made too (based on the screw attachments). I wonder about the two aluminum screw back DI's. The back of one seems to have some printing on it which makes me think it is recycled aluminum. They are quite detailed and nicely made. Could these be German made too or African made maybe? The unit was there with operation Torch. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 28, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2014 All of them would to my mind be worn when the unit as part of the 1st Inf Div was in garrison in Germany post war and well into the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
