MWalsh Posted August 17, 2015 #1 Posted August 17, 2015 I looked through my WW2 Order of Battle in the hopes that this crest was one of the ones listed, and looked through various other sites and such too, but no luck. Can anyone help ID it for me? Thanks!
tarbridge Posted August 17, 2015 #2 Posted August 17, 2015 It almost looks as if something is missing?
MWalsh Posted August 17, 2015 Author #3 Posted August 17, 2015 I kind of wondered the same thing, except that the enamel work to it is pretty distinct in the inside of it, and done in the shape of an outline. I had initially thought it had a piece which came off. My first thought was that it was a state shape or an island shape, or some such thing.

MWalsh Posted September 4, 2015 Author #5 Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks for the input! The stumper to me on this one, if it IS an unfinished DI, or if it IS one missing part of it, is why there would be that line of enamel underneath where a missing part would be? I guess I kind of would have thought that any unfinished DI where the additional device was, or a broken one where the device came off, would have just base metal where the device would have been over it?
