First Cavalry Division Patch Type Crests - Theater-Made

[KurtA]

Picked these up yesterday morning. The enameled one is Japanese-occupation period. The other is WW2 Aussie-made. First ever crest I have found by this company - "Angus & Coote Jewelers". I've seen plenty of branch insignia and wings by them, but never a crest.

That is a first. ..never found or seen one...

Very cool.

 

The screw back looks to be a lapel pin?

No, it's standard size for a uniform.

Excellent Kurt, the Australian one no doubt made in 43 when the Cav was there before shipping out north to New Guinea.

That Angus & Coote 1st Cav DI is very cool, I have never seen one.

Any chance, when you have time, you could post a couple of pics of

just that DI?

John-

Not so sure these are any better than the other photos, but it was the best I could do.

Perfect, thanks Kurt.
