1950s DI for US Army 10th Engineer Combat Battalion

This is a 1950s distinctive insignia for the United States 10th Engineer Combat Battalion. The DI is a crest with many symbols: two crescents representing General Scott's coat of arms, a gear wreathed by oak leaves, two crossed oars and an anchor (the insignia of the Engineers of the Army of the Potomac), and a 7 pointed Australian cap badge. The DI reads LABORAMUS SUSTINERE (we work to assist).

Circa 1950s.

Approximately 1-1/4" in height and 7/8" in width.

Plated brass with enamel.

Vertical pin with come-under locking swivel.

None.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. R/EJ94 LBDX10/11

8 (Excellent-): The DI shows some light wear and tarnish only.

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