CDWells Posted November 4, 2023 #1 Posted November 4, 2023 I have a USAF SF badge from the early 1980's that is 1/20 silver filled with a very small diamond hallmark with weak, rounded edges that I can't lock down. The letters are incredibly small, say half the size of the base of the clutch posts. I will try to get a photo, but it is still sealed and I want to keep it so. I have a USAF Firefighter badge of similar vintage that is Williams and Anderson. I'm inclined to lean towards them. Can't find any similar hallmarks that small. I also have a numbered USAF SF ID badge in miniature that has a "CM" hallmark. Could this be Classic Metallics? It's also early '80's production. Trying to figure out some of the basics of my Wilmington haul to get my documentation started.
triplecanopy Posted November 4, 2023 #2 Posted November 4, 2023 The diamond hallmark sounds like Williams and Anderson. Does it look like he ones on these badges?
CDWells Posted November 4, 2023 Author #3 Posted November 4, 2023 The one on the Firefighter badge definitely is W&A. The problem is this little monster is literally 1/32" tall. I measured. It's generally diamond shaped and it has something in the middle, but I can't make out what, even with a magnifying glass. I'm going to have to set up my microscope and have a look. It's just to small and, I suspect, worn. This is the best photo I have of it. Definitely tiny.
