Sully Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Here are the DI's. I did ID the 38th FA DI the other four I'm unsure of. The "Attack to Defend" is multipart construction unmarked and has WW2 clutch backs Fortitude and Courage is made by Meyer newer clutch back but not to modern The two on the card are Ira Green Always looking for WW1 28th Division; anything, papers, field gear, uniforms, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Sully Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Here is a close up on the buttons and wings. One is a USN cuff button but I don't know what era The one with the B on it I'm unsure if it is military or not. Two piece stamped brass and says Superior Quality on the reverse. The other with Eagle and shield is also two piece construction brass on steel and is unmarked.
