jeremiahcable Posted February 16, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2019 This one is a 1937 pattern EGA, seen up through the KW era. It was one of the more popular styles during WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremiahcable Posted February 16, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2019 And the same with this one. Same pattern, two different insignia manufacturers. They are nice examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNYC71 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted February 16, 2019 So these could have been manufactured during the KW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted February 16, 2019 Share #12 Posted February 16, 2019 Probably the WW2 era or immediately after. Officer insignia was private purchase so a lot of those guys continued wearing the older patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted February 16, 2019 Share #16 Posted February 16, 2019 I'd say WWII production for both, Sterling service emblems was an economy wartime measure mid-late WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
