1930s US Army 169th Infantry Regiment DI by Dondero

This is a 1930s distinctive insignia for the United States Army 169th Infantry Regiment by Dondero. The DI shows two diagonal blue banners separating a fleur-de-lis from a prickly pear cactus. At the DI's top is a lion passant, and the DI reads ARMIS STANT LEGIS (laws are maintained by force of arms).

Circa 1930s.

Approximately 1-1/8" in height and 7/8" in width.

Plated brass with enameled areas.

Single screw post with disc backing and stabilization posts.

A.H. DONDERO INC. WASHINGTON D.C.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAL90 LBHX10/11

7+ (Very Fine+): The DI has only some abrasions to the enamel and tarnish on reverse.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
