WW2 502nd crossed rifle brass

[Brandonmlc]

I recently purchased this item which is clearly theater made but I'm not sure where. I'm thinking British or maybe German but I honestly don't know. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

@Allan H. I think I might need your expertise on this. I'm sure you'll know everything about this item. Your opinion would be very appreciated.

The numbered collar brass that you are showing is German made from the immediate post-WWII Occupation period. I showed a couple of different examples in the WWII Airborne Numbered Officers' Collar Brass thread.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that thread, is it pinned?

Of course not! Though there is a pinned thread on numbered collar brass.

I would say this style is the most popular with collectors (at least they are with me).  Hallmarked Meyer Metal with a shield.

Another posting in the forum identifies your type as german made.
