Pittsburgh Uniform & Tailoring Company dated 1912 to 1943.

Here is an acquisition from a recent local show. Really interesting badge and, to me, appears to be jeweler made. It is beautifully detailed, pin has pads, measures 2 7/8", no back mark. John 

Leigh- Thank you so much for this information. This is the only information that my family has besides what was passed down verbally. I do not know what all the designations mean but I can guess that M G is for machine gun.  If so, I guess what was passed down sounds correct.  If you could post more information when you have time, I would greatly appreciate it. gary

Am I really that old??? 😄  

Suzuki??

I think the windshield frame could be original, body is CJ2A it seems... I wonder what they used for a frame?

Say hi to John... Sorry we didn't catch up this year... Too busy as usual…

A jeep isn't always a Jeep...   I spotted this lookalike MB at the Overlord Museum on June 6th... Powered by a 2 Liter Gasoline (petrol) engine.... I keep wondering how they register something like this in the UK...    

Ha - that was right under my nose on the 24thCavRecon blog I posted last month. Thanks for spotting that. As a militaria rookie, patches are an arcane mystery to me. We've now got a studio portrait of another 24th Cav Recon guy with yet another 'mystery' patch, which looks like an armored division insignia. It was taken sometime in Belgium. Anyway, I've asked the guys behind the Joseph Weaver memorial board how they came to include the rose and stirrup patch and I'll report back.
