WWII US Army 97th Field Artillery Battalion DI by Dondero

This is a World War II distinctive insignia for the United States 97th Field Artillery Battalion by A.H. Dondero. The DI is a gold and red crest with its two halves separated by a jagged line. There is a cannon in the lower half and a scroll at the bottom that reads ME SEMPER ARCESSUNT (they always send me).

Circa World War II.

Approximately 15/16" in height x 1-1/16" in width.

Plated brass with enamel.

Vertical pin with come-under locking catch.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months VB/E95 LBDX10/11 SBDX06/19/21

7+ (Very Fine+): The DI shows light wear and some very small spots of oxidation.

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