Oldcrestguy Posted January 25, 2023 Share #365 Posted January 25, 2023 On 7/20/2011 at 8:05 PM, USMCRECON said: Two fairly early 1st Cav DUIs (only one side shown). One is brass with black horse head silhouette (screwback) and the other has the horse head silhouette, "blanket" and the letter I in blue rather than the usual black. I think the one with the blue letter "I" is actually University of Illinois ROTC, from the WWII timeframe. This would be for those in their cavalry program. U Illinois seems to have had a different insignia for various branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up Tred. Thing is, I think that 819th was made in silver by Sawicki in the 50's. His fakes are all of great quality and pretty hard to find. They are collectable themselves. They all have a similar look, feel, and shape. I don't collect fakes, but I have a couple of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
