Manchu Warrior Posted March 26, 2017 #1 Posted March 26, 2017 I picked these at the flea market today and I cannot find them in my crest book. The first one is a Sterling pin back crest and the motto is "Semper et Ubique Fdelis." Which translates to, "Always and everywhere faithful." I at first thought it was, for obvious reasons, USMC related. When I looked it up the closest army unit motto was the 11th Infantry Reg. but this is not that units crest. Every other crest that I have found that had a motto on it I have been able to identify, that was until I found this one. The other one is a screw back and it has the profile of Abe Lincoln on the crest with no motto. So, I assumed that it was related to the Illinois National Guard but I cannot ID it. Any ideas?
Charger22 Posted March 26, 2017 #2 Posted March 26, 2017 The one the left with the Semper et Ubique Fdelis motto on it is for the 346th Infantry Regiment of the 87th division. On the upper left of the DUI it has the Acorn of the 87th. Ken
