MasonK Posted December 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2018 I received these in a job lot of metal and cloth insignia. I assume they are branch unassigned. Curious about the markings on the reverse, and era of the insignia themselves. Marked on the back it says M.P. Co USA. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonK Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted December 23, 2018 Angled shot. Markings are raised, so I assume MP Co is the manufacturer. Font changes between the two pieces. Variation of the marking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted December 23, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2018 WWII Issued officer's Branch Unassigned collar brass was an eagle inside a pierced circle. These look like sweetheart pieces to me. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted December 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2018 I agree with Allan, the pin style on the back is definitely an indication that they are sweetheart or patriotic pins from the 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonK Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted December 23, 2018 Thank you both! The matching set was throwing me off. Checked eBay, and saw quite a few examples that match. I appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted December 23, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 23, 2018 Due to the very low quality, they remind me of the insignia included in a child's Army play set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
