US Army 18th Infantry Regiment DI

This is a distinctive insignia for the United States Army 18th Infantry Regiment. The DI is a crest with several symbols, including two fleur-de-lis, two crossed arrows, a figure 8, a bolo and a saltire cross. The DI reads IN OMNIA PARATUS (in all things prepared).

Circa 1950s.

Approximately 1-1/4" in height and 1-5/16" in width.

Plated brass with enamel.

Vertical pin with come-under locking swivel catch.

None.

The DI you receive will either be this one or one in very similar condition.
This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAL90 LAJX10/11

7+ (Very Fine+): The DI shows some light abrasions and there is some slight oxidation at the pin juncture.

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