1960s US Army 16th Engineer Battalion (aka Catamounts) DI by Susco

This is a 1960s distinctive insignia for the United States 16th Engineer Battalion (aka "Catamounts") by Susco. The DI shows a European mountain cat (rampant) crossing a treadway bridge and reads SEMPER ALTIMO (always to the top). Over the cat's shoulder is the star from the Moroccan flag.

Circa 1960s.

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

Plated brass with enamel.

Two posts.

S-21 MADE IN U.S.A.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAL90 LABX10/11

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The DI shows some light wear and abrasions.

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