I saw the CT patch that was on the link you provided when we did some cursory research, but can't find one like my design. Post war could use more material I guess? Thanks again, Al.

vzemke Posted April 17, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 17, 2015 Your Conn State Guard Reserve patch is from WWII, it was only worn between 1942 and 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Minton Posted April 17, 2015 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2015 The Gun Pointer First Class was used from 1903-49. I find these hard to date, though based on the way it is cut, I would say WWI era, though that is a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
