1936 Presentation 35th Infantry Regiment DUIs

[FlyNavy02]

Below are images of one of my favorites sets, a pair of 35th Infantry Regiment DUIs presented to Colonel Erle M. Wilson when he took command of the Regiment in 1936. They are unmarked but the late Jay Massaro thought they were probably made by NS Meyer.

 

One is hand engraved:

COL ERLE M. WILSON

PRESENTED BY

HIS REGIMENT

JULY 6, 1936

 

The second one is hand engraved: COL ERLE M. WILSON

 

Col. Wilson was a West Point graduate, Class of 1904, and was the commanding officer of Schofield Barracks during the Pearl Harbor attack.
