Condition: Older vertical pinback enamel insignia with honest age wear and patina. No maker hallmark confirmed from the reverse photo.
Older U.S. Army distinctive unit insignia for the 391st Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion, featuring the unusual motto “LE DIXIE’S FINEST.” Army archival indexes identify the 391st Antiaircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion as a World War II organization activated in 1943, with surviving unit records from 1944–1945.
This example uses a vertical pinback rather than later clutch posts, adding interest for collectors seeking earlier construction. The enamel displays well, with honest age toning and surface wear. No maker hallmark is confirmed from the reverse photograph, so none is claimed.
An appealing WWII-era antiaircraft-artillery crest for AAA, unit-insignia, and pinback collectors. Please review all images for exact condition.
Originality / disclosure: Original vintage; exact maker/date not confirmed
