This is a Sea Squatters Pin that is attached to a vets hat.

Any value associated with these? The reverse side is a screw mount and is marked sterling AE Co. Utica NY post-9620-0-96011900-1538498927_thumb.jpeg

The hat belonged to a local vet who was a waist gunner on a B-17 that was shot down over Germany.

 

I bought his ribbons, dog tags, documents, photo album, etc.

Yes. I have all his information it’s been fascinating researching. His escape out of Germany has been featured in a few books.

The hat looks to be for the Air Force Escape and Evasion Society (AFEES). His story may/should have been written up in one of the AFEES publications.
