No. This is undoubtedly a post war piece. We see poly threads and the bright white base material. It is not a wartime variant.   Allan

That's true, but over the course of history, one would expect that at least one person of a surname would have shown up in Find a Grave. I didn't just search for John YOUGREN, but for anyone with the surname YOUGREN. My point was to demonstrate that the name had to have been an engraving error as Cinnamontoastcrunch posted.   Allan

. Hi Yellowhammer.   Mike said that it took approximately three minutes to produce this and it was his first attempt.  Well spotted on the camera size,    Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 29 May  2O26.   ..

Find a grave does not take cremations into account. 

I found one that I just recently learned about. It’s an unmarked Stevenson. No Stevenson stamp of any kind, but has there unusual US stamped scale.

Is this an authentic ww2 1st allied airborne patch ? 

Thanks, but I would think the engraving would not be official? He was probably just wounded? Did a private engraver mess up, just the question I have now. 

I agree with @Allan H. this pendant was sold off for scrap. This is the individual whose family it would've been sent to. 

Wonder what else the lawer got away with, so sad. Any pics of the SKS? Would love to see that one.
