Niner Alpha Posted December 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2019 A friend of mine came into possession of a nearly dime size disk that he thinks may be a collar pin for a military unit pre WWII. Any guess about this disk origins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niner Alpha Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted December 30, 2019 So it's a sweetheart pin? Something a soldier would have sent as a momento to someone back home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted December 30, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2019 So it's a sweetheart pin? Something a soldier would have sent as a momento to someone back home? Yup, I assume private shops and the PX sold pins like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAW Posted December 30, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2019 Yes...officially a sweetheart piece. You could hypothetically see one worn on an overseas cap as a decoration too, but really a sweetheart item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner Alpha Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted December 30, 2019 Thanks. I'll pass the information along. My friend said he tried to register at this site to ask the question himself at my urging but had some unknown to me difficulty doing so. .
