14th Ordnance Battalion DUI German Made

[McDermut99]

This came with a large lot of other insignia. It is the unit insignia of the 14th Ordnance Battalion, who's motto was "Promptus Ad Certamen". It does have surface corrosion on the back which is consistent with being made of brass. It is marked on the back:

 

DOMMER'S

STUTTGART

GERMANY

 

I believe this DUI to have been made post-WWII, but that is just an educated guess. Any further comments about this pin are greatly appreciated.

ALL GM and JM insignia is post war.

 

This is c. 1950 due to it being CB.

[McDermut99]

Ah, now I understand. Thanks tredhed! Does this one have any value to it?

[MBS]

Not too much, they are a fairly common DI.

 

The verdigris may hurt the value a little. Price is a subjective issue but a collector might expect to pay somewhere around $5.00 to $8.00 for it. Although, they may hold out for a cleaner example.

 

Best,

Dommer hallmark is not that common, first one of these I've seen with that hallmark.

There is one of these at an auction site with the wheel to the right and the artillery piece on the left. Could that make it a rare DUI? It is also listed as the 38th ordnance battalion while doing research.

According to ASMIC, if the artillery piece is on the left, it is the 14th Ord. Bn. On the right, it's the 38th Ord. Bn. Special thanks to woodenc for pointing that out.
