Hi,

 

Can you help me to ID this DUI?

 

Thanks a lot

Altough it's looking like a silver bend and a silver horse's head on your picture it could be the DUI of the 568th Field Artillery Battalion (601st F.A.Bn). I'm referring to ASMIC's DUI Charge list: "On a red shield a gold bend and a gold mule's head". Maybe a variant.

It is 601 FA, the gilt has been rubbed off. A lot of people like to clean their di's and when you apply polish to a gilt di and rub to polish, the gilt will come off !
