goforsco Posted June 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2016 Hello members, I am hoping that someone can help me figure this id badge out. It was found in a local junk store. I thought it was interesting and possibly WWII era. Thoughts? Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellasilva Posted June 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2016 That's definitely an Army officers service number, and he even looks like he's wearing a field jacket. This disc that it's on, though, reminds me of wartime factory ID discs that were common during WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforsco Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted June 18, 2016 At first I was thinking factory id too but all the ones that I have seen (including my own Clinton Engineer Works/Y-12 badge) include the factory/business name. I wondered if it might be German pow from an American prison camp (name on the badge is Wiltberger). Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarbridge Posted June 18, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 18, 2016 The background is good old red, white and blue...reminds me of the Army Ground Forces patche...but is upside down.Or it could just be a Patriotic background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Herd Posted June 18, 2016 Share #7 Posted June 18, 2016 It could be a badge to grant access to a restricted area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
