Rare Circa 1940 CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) Officer's Cap Badge

This is a rare circa 1940 officer's cap badge for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The officers of the CCC received this new insignia starting in April 1940 after civilians replaced Reserve member officers. The large badge is gold-plated and has an eagle beneath three capital Cs. The motto "Semper Patria Mea" (Always My Country) is along a banner the bottom.

Circa 1940.

Approximately 2-3/16" in height and 1-11/16" in width.

Gold-plated.

Single screw post with disc backing, stabilization posts.

ACID TEST.

This is from a Civilian Conservation Corps collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MEJX14 LBCEX2/14 SBJJX2/14

7 (Very Fine): The badge shows some light wear and tarnish.

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