Thanks Paul. What would be the determining factors for this?

The shape of the eagles head ,the lettering the date all indicative of a type of shield found in veterans footlockers since 1945. Big Ned (R.I.P. sorely missed) called it a 5.1 by an unknown maker. Of course there are differences between the manufacturers. Regards Paul.
