U.S. WW2 "WAR CORRESPONDENT" Epaulet Slip-ons. Local made CBI
U.S. WW2 "U.S. WAR CORRESPONDENT" Epaulet slip-on ID’s. Dark green wool felt with cotton backers. Brass one piece insignia with British-style post and pin attachment devises, having copper pins. These brasses are hand filed, and although “the same”, clearly have individual filing details making each so different from the other. Brasses are 2” wide x 1 1/2” tall. When turned inside out for inspection, the backer material on one of the pair appears to be a cotton rice sack with printing making it appear that it came from India. Cloth slip-ons are 2 3/8” wide x 1/3/4” tall. This type of specialized cheap labor was available in India, at that time a British colony. Nice bright patina. Lovely handwork. Very Scarce. Price: $165.00. (ref. C-187a)
