denfly Posted December 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2015 Can't seem to know what unit used this pinback. Normally I see "The Clipper" with color background not NY State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted December 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2015 New York State Guard Brigade DUI. I'm not sure which one though as this one is obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted December 23, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2015 According to the J-M 1984 Trading Post, it appears that your DI is for the 52nd FA Bde. That is not a clipper ship on it. Clipper ships were not around until approx 1850 and had nothing to do with NY. It is Henry Hudson's "Half Moon" under full sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted December 23, 2015 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2015 NY NG unit, not SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denfly Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted December 24, 2015 What got me curious is the "Half Moon" ship appears to be superimposed over the state. The only DI's I've seen had either the 27th or 42nd div. over the state. Unless this is a certain variation of the 52nd F.A. Brigade, all if not most had the ship with a colored background. I searched the NYS DMNA websites heraldry section and didn't find this one there. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted December 27, 2015 Share #7 Posted December 27, 2015 While researching an unrelated subject, found a better reference that this was also worn by 27th ID Div Arty beginning in 1942. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 8, 2016 Share #14 Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks Linedoggie. These DUI's pop up now and then with various color schemes. I thought this was 27th MP? Here's the Wiki I started on the 93rd Infantry Brigade, well started and some unknown WIKI big wig finished, as it was very difficult for me to navigate though the procsss, I still always wanted to ADD the DI for this unit, I was sent an image of it, but just didn't and still don't know how to do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/93rd_Infantry_Brigade_%28United_States%29 Same with the WIKI on the Hawaiian Division, I obviouly didn't start that one, but made many attempts at changing the patch that depicted, it the wrong one. SEE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_Division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
