WWII US Army 63rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) Bn DI by Meyer

This is a pre-World War II distinctive insignia for the United States 63rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Missile Battalion by N. S. Meyer. The DI shows three winged anti-aircraft missiles upon a purple and gold crest and reads AMOR PATRIAE (for love of country).

Circa 1930s.

Approximately 1-3/16" in height and 15/16" in width.

Plated brass with enamel.

Vertical pin with come-under locking swivel catch.

N.S. MEYER INC. NEW YORK, engraved shield maker mark.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months VAL90 LBDX12/11

6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The DI shows some moderate wear and tarnish, light oxidation and has a small piece of enamel missing.

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