Custermen Posted June 9, 2009 #78 Posted June 9, 2009 DUI for 338th Field Artillery of 88th Infantry Division. The 88th Infantry Division included the 337FA, 338FA and 339FA. The DUI pin for the 337FA and 338FA are very similiar but the DUI for 338FA has a non-standard shape to the shield that is more pointed. The 337FA's pin has a diagonal stripe, sorta like twisted ribbon, and does not have the Corn Stalk in the Blue cloverleaf. This pin was on an Vet's overseas cap who served in the Battery C, 328FA, 85ID, during most of the campaign. He either got this from a friend or he was transferred into the 88th Division due to his lack of 85 ASR Points. Steve
HOLZI Posted July 29, 2009 #80 Posted July 29, 2009 506th PIR WWII w/ sterling silver hallmark and hinged pin (English made). In post war examples the shield is a mirror image, meaning the lightning bolt runs from upper lt to lwr right and the six canopies are on the right.

StevenL Posted August 28, 2009 #83 Posted August 28, 2009 Here's the rest from my small collection that haven't already been posted by others.
StevenL Posted August 29, 2009 #84 Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks for the correct names. Some of these are difficult to ID using only Google! I'll get a book eventually. Looks like I also typed AFF instead of AAF.

Brig Posted September 16, 2009 #86 Posted September 16, 2009 couldn't find these in the pinned reference, anyone know? I think the disc is tank destroyer?

Steve B. Posted September 18, 2009 #89 Posted September 18, 2009 The DUI identified as for US Army Drill Sergeants was actually used by all personnel assigned to US Army Training Centers. The collar brass is for armor and could be worn by armored cavalry. See The Institute of Heraldry at: http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Branches/Armor.htm

See The Institute of Heraldry at: http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Branches/Armor.htm That is correct, I wore it 1980-82 and was not a Drill Sergeant. Only Drill Sergeants could wear the pocket badge with the same design. Mike
StevenL Posted September 28, 2009 #91 Posted September 28, 2009 From left to right, 3rd Medical Battalion (3rd Inf) and 17th Infantry Regiment. The 3rd Medical Battalion has been redesignated numerous times and the sword handle should be in the upper left corner when worn properly. The 17th Infantry Regiment is an earlier version from before the buffalo was added.
StevenL Posted October 14, 2009 #92 Posted October 14, 2009 Services of Supply, renamed in March 1942 to the Army Service Forces. This DI is marked Balfour Sterling on the back. There is also one with the eagle facing the other way that makes a complete set.
