June 5, 20224 yr #1 Picked this up over the weekend for next to nothing as part of a sizable lot of theater made U.S. Army insignia. It’s got some heft to it, so If I had to guess it’s made of zinc? If it’s junk, I’m not out much- just would like to know. Would really appreciate any information, good or bad. Thanks!

A part of that I think is the lighting, but I would agree the casting isn’t really that great. For a buck I’m not out much! Any idea when/where this would’ve been made? I’ve found a few reproductions online but most seem be made in the brass (or copper?) style. Thanks again! CC
