Another amazing find, Ben!  Either you beat the "bushes" really hard in your part of the Hoosier state or you just have incredible luck at finding some real gems.  Super nice bring back Luger.  All I have is a bring back with no name that was made in the inter-war years.  They are FUN to shoot though!

Great grouping and outstanding historical research and write up.  Thanks for sharing just one, of millions, of men and women who won the war and liberated Europe from Nazi tyranny.  Thank the good Lord that we had such men, of the Greatest Generation, who went to free the world from such evil.  May his story be forever told so that his buddies who were lost and himself not be forgotten for future generations.  For they are the shoulders we stand on now and are forever grateful.

👍 Yep. You beat me to it.  The movie title is also the name of a book by one of the “Jill’s”, Carole Landis. It’s about their USO tour. I have a copy of it somewhere.   

WW2.  Did you get the plastic scabbard that these generally go with?

Four Jills in a Jeep, from 1944.

I’ve heard various time periods for this badge from WW2 to post WW2. I love this style badge. Above is a post of the many various pieces with different makers marks.
