Restrike WW1 Collar Disks

[MWDVET]

Agree. Hopefully a photo will pop up at some point.

 

That said, nice collection GAZOO! I am also a collector of veterinary/farrier insignia.

Fantastic. That site has some really great images of all kinds of WW1 era uniforms.

PROOF POSITIVE
Is there a Date associated with this photo ?
 

Awesome ++++++

From the associated documents with this image it appears it would be between 1917-1919.

Does anyone have a digital copy of the Naugatuck Novelty Company catalog or link?I did see a post from around 2017 that had a link, but it does not work.  I think it would be great to see what collar disks they were selling. It would definitely help weed out the restrikes.

I don't have a link, but from what I have seen they usually are the more uncommon disks, e.g. USS, IP, 10 Cavalry MG, 1st pattern Tanker, USMC, etc. 

 

So the more rare the disc is the more I look closely at it, but I guess that goes without saying.

Thanks for responding.  I am hopeful someone will dig up the old catalog, but not overly optimistic. In the meantime, caveat emptor…..

Just to update this thread. 

 

Attached is a picture of 5 dimple back, aka likely restrike, disks.

I appreciate you circling back around to provide more of your expertise. I continue to be educated. Thanks.
