DutchInfid3l Posted May 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2009 Was included in a lot, but it's initially what caught my eye to the lot on ebay. A cap device perhaps? It's about an inch tall and an inch and a half wide. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted May 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2009 not the same, but also pinback...we had a conversation awhile back http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...showtopic=35199 also moved this to the Ranks and Rates forum where it'll get more views by people who know of these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted May 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2009 I do beieve it is a cap device used on the fatigues in the early 50's. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainofthe7th Posted May 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2009 It looks very similar to the Army chevrons made in Korea, usually out of spent shell casings. This appears to be of the same thickness, cast, and maybe a similar material. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted May 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 17, 2009 his looks stamped...I think you're refering to these...theater made and cast with screwposts discussed here... http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...c=15328&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainofthe7th Posted May 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 17, 2009 Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I agree that the USAF pin looks stamped as opposed to cast...I now change my opinion on these, lol. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
