    Military pins, wondering if anyone has any knowledge on whether or not these are US WW1 or WW2 pins.
    We found them and neither my father or grandfather talked about them, it would be good to know.
    thank you very much

      The torch appears to be army ROTC..maybe 20s?

      Photos of the back would be helpful.

      The first one is a Navy specific Honorable Discharge Lapel Pin and would at least post date WW2.

      Torch looks to be an ROTC collar disk and could be WW1 era through 1920s.

      The last one (Eagle) is an Honorable Service Lapel Pin and was awarded for WW2 service.

      thank you, that helps a lot

      my Dad was Navy WW2 so the US Navy and Eagle must be his

      my Grandfather was WW1 enlisted made Sergeant - in from start to finish.
      I don't know that protocol there was that would have caused him to receive it, maybe somebody traded with him, whatever it was, we are glad you all could help us.

      thank you
