Dakota Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The top appears to be the 541th PIR Bottom one appears to be either the 517th PIR, or 509th PIB D WWII-KWUniforms, Insignia, SSIs, Badges, Medals, Ribbons Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpin Jack Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The top one is 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment if outer ring is orange, and the lower one, assuming the center is blue, is 325th PIR or possibly 542nd PIB. Both are post-WWII. Jack Link to post Share on other sites

doyler Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Agree these are both late 50s to early 60s and used later as well. The blue and white is typical if the 325 of post WW2.
