one-inch diameter, enlisted man collar disk, of the new style, which first

checkered background of tiny squares with even smaller, very detailed,
shield shaped designs within the tiny checkered squares. This specimen has
the letters, CMTC, embossed on the new style background. The original
copper/gold finish is maybe 50% intact, the finish, on the highlights, is
worn to the base brass metal and its tarnished from age and use. The
backside has a screw post with a round, brass, serrated edge nut fastener;
the backside is overall lightly tarnished, but most of the original
copper/gold finish still remains. A
scarce and very unique disk, not often encountered. Vg. $25.00
