Unknown Intelligence DI - Help Needed

[Airborne-Hunter]

I ran across this one today and I can't figure it out. I went through Capistrano's books, but to no avail. Any thoughts on what this one could be? Thanks ABN

Since it has the Lamp of Knowledge incorporated into it, perhaps an early DI for the School? At the time this shoulder patch was worn?

The 1960s DI is different. Also this piece is framed in sort of a domed frame with WW2 stuff. I haven't opened the frame up, but it appears to be a pin back meyer piece. No name unfortunately

Right, this imagery goes back a ways past the 60s. Got to be something associated with this period before the "newer" insiginas came out.

Beautiful. Seems to be a rare one no?

I don't think so. I see them fairly often at shows and in collections. I've had 5 or 6.

Right, by the way, do you know the time period of these were worn, WWII into the 50s or just the 50s?

Ca. 1949/later and figure out when the O-1 and G2 HMs appeared.

Would that be Orber and Gemsco. O-1 would be post 1965, the G2 would be post 1954 pre 1965, normally in this 54-65 period the letter comes first like 1K for Krew, 1E for Emblem Supply, 6D Denmark etc etc.
