1st Field Artillery Bridle Rosettes DUIs
1st Field Artillery Bridle Rosettes – DUIs. These are a scarce pair of horse bridle rosettes used by the 1st U. Field Artillery from 1923 into the 1930s (before mechanization). The distinctive insignia, designed to be worn on the uniform were used here on these brass rosettes. Scarlet is the color of the artillery branch, and the symbolism used here is the grape shot canister in center, for a remark attributed to General Zachary Taylor during the Mexican War, A little more grape, Captain Bragg. The tower on the top center represents the defense of Fort Sumter at the beginning of the Civil War, and a maple leaf commemorates the regiments engagements in Canada during the War of 1812. Overall the polished brass rosettes are 51mm diameter, and have heavy brass wires attached on the back for fastening to the leather bridle straps. There is some patina on both, and traces of brass cleaner residue in protected areas.

German Army Artillery Unite Metal Wall Plaque
I have for sale a metal wall plaque that shows a German Army Artillery unit. The plaque is blackened metal, it is 4 13/16 inches in diameter and in a high grade circulated condition. I have no information on when and who made this plaque. Possibly from the 1930’s or early 40’s. On the reverse it reads 1032 TAK GESGLSGH (these last letters may not be correct). It also has the letters HB in a circle on the obverse and that may be the maker.
