roadrunner Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share #63 Posted May 8, 2016 ROADRUNNER that is sweet. Maybe an early AF one? That was the first I thought that it could be a USAF prototype but the "new" design for the Aide to the President was changed in 1953 and the USAF had their own style a few years earlier, shown in "The Airmans Handbook" from May 1951. .

roadrunner Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share #65 Posted May 8, 2016 Ya thats a real stumper.I found this page while searching. http://www.emersoninsignia.net/files/Download/18AidesInsig.pdf I know Bill and his Homepage with fantastic articles and so I linked his HP in #1 of this topic. I think BALFOUR knew what they were doing at producing this silver item. 1951 and 1953 are not to far away and so it is my theory it is a USAF prototype. It took a few years to change the Army design for the Presidential Aide and parallel the USAF Aide insignias were createt. Instead of using the Army versions with silver eagle and silver shield ( border ) the Air Force created their own style of AdC insignias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share #66 Posted August 22, 2016 Bill has in his article a pair of AdC made by Crispulo Zamora. and wrote this information about the items. "Another interesting pair of aide insignia are pin-back versions made in the Philippines. These (below left) are marked Crispulo Zamora, have white stars, and are 1-9/16 inches high." Here are pictures of front and reverse to show better details. I'm still searching this type for my collection. Please PM if you have one for sale. Michael .
