44th signal DUI - New Jersey National Gaurd

[Piratelou]

I found this pin, amongst other things. I don't recognize it, at this point I'm questioning it's Military, but I was hoping someone could confirm it for me. No stamps or markings on it.

I believe it has to do with the 112th field artillery regiment.

It's a New Jersey National Guard Signal Corps unit. I believe 44th Signal Company. Can you post a photo of the reverse?

[Piratelou]

I guess that would explain this screw back pin from the same lot?

It is not the 112th field artillery. The lions head crest is used by the New Jersey army national guard. I'm not sure about the shield. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that.

The two are unrelated. The disk is a pre WW2 Tank Infantry branch insignia.

Thanks. Nice earlier DUI - probably just prior to WW2.

Thanks for your help. Forgive my lack of knowledge, but what does "DUI" stand for?
