bobgee Posted July 22, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2007 An unusual representation of a Disney insignia. It's hand-painted on an Italian tile and glazed. In an old odd-looking frame. I have no history on its origins but the unit served in Italy and I assume it was produced there for a member of the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneydave Posted July 22, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2007 According to my database, this design was created in the fall of 1942. Here is the image as it appeared in the March 1943, Volume 3 No. 6 issue of Walt Disney's Comics & Stories comic book. The comic book series reproduced Disney-designed combat insignia in several issues, picturing either 6, 12 or 24 designs in each issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneydave Posted July 22, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2007 The crow is from the film Dumbo. I just noticed that if you look very closely, you can see the unit designation written across the front bumper in Bob's example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
