I found this site - there were 120 or so DFS's awarded during WW2 to USMC aviators. This narrows it down some. Thanks again for the post I found this - I narrowed down the squadrons by eliminating the major campaigns like "Wake and Midway" and VMF-121 has 3 DFS recipients: http://www.ntxe-news.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=23&num=38286&printer=1 Robert M.

A couple of local guys say to clean it up. Interresting to me to read the opinions. There is a jewelry cleaner that you can dip this is and it takes all the grime off. Then it will sparkle. In any case the jury is out. I don't know what I will do having several sets I like them clean and shiney.

The army shield is bullion and looks ok was it embroidered on the hat or a separate piece of cloth? Looks to be 1902 pattern dress cover for a regular officer.

Hi Peter, Good points. This is an officers EGA 10kt gold and sterling. Meant to be seen the black is tarnish. I am eager to see what others have to say. I am happy either way. Zoom in on the America's it looks brass but that is gold. Thanks! George
