Re: My Inherited ww2 collection
It is a nice record of his service. I am sure you are very proud of your grandfather.

ive made a few phone calls to record offices trying to find more, but the office where his records were housed burned down in the 80s or 90s if i recall, but i have not made much more of an effort than that. I cant find anything about the 907th Air Engineering Squadron either, but my father had mentioned my grandfather was involved in the Battle of the Bulge. I havent been heavily interested in militaria until of late, even though i an an avid fan of ww2 history.

And it looks like a tank scope to me also very cool.

They call these "ruptured duck pins." They were given our to servicemen and women who were honorably discharged.
i just read that on another site, thank you for your response though!

Re: My Inherited ww2 collection
No problemo! Nice collection you have there. I wish I had some of the stuff from both of my grandfathers...

Re: My Inherited ww2 collection
The pin you are unsure of is called a 'Ruptured Duck'. It is a discharge pin
for ex-servicemen in civilian clothes, worn on the collar. Also, diamond
shaped cloth versions were worn on uniform tunics/jumpers
of all services. These are very common.
(sigh) GIZMO8Z beat me to it.........!
