Have seen these around just a handful of times since I started collecting... finally snatched up a pair myself. But I don't know anything about these devices... anyone have any information on them? Timeframe they were worn? Any photos of them in use? I have several of the regular lyre devices that were described in the early regs but haven't seen any documentation on these kind...

HELP!!!

Interesting. So you're thinking no good? I know of one popular seller... whose name shall not be said... but even they had the hallmark wrong (as in my PM to you). They have a "real enough" feel to them but I just don't know.

Check it out.. finally found a fairly clear shot of these devices being worn.   Private Verne Powell, spent his entire enlistment at Mare Island from Dec 1917 though sometime in 1919 or so.

These are reproduced examples. There are no crisp details on the obverse and the details of the reverse are mushy... neat pic!
