1938, ARMY LEVEL PRIZE, BRONZE, RIFLE COMPETITION, INFANTRY, NAMED, w/RESEARCH. This 1939 Infantry Army Level Prize for Rifle Competition was awarded to Private First Class John B. Morrissey, Company I, 107. SGT Morrissey was born on 30 January, 1908, Pocatello, Idaho. SGT Morrissey enlisted on 21 January 1936. When John Bacon Morrissey was born on January 30, 1908, in Pocatello, Idaho, his father, Harry, was 30 and his mother, Florence, was 23. He had two sons and two daughters with Anna R Morrissey. He died on February 3, 1982, in Aberdeen, Maryland, at the age of 74. These interwar Army marksmanship badges are highly sought after among collectors. We will include printed copies of the research artifacts. We are limited to 12 images, so there are more artifacts than what is displayed here. This Army level prize consists of three parts. Top bar that indicated either Army level or Corps / department level competition and served as a brooch to affix the assembled device to the uniform. The top bar is squared ended and ornamented with oak leaves, and was always worn with this bronze clasp and an enameled planchet prior to WWII. The top bar or brooch is a pin back with a functional rotating clasp closure. The second portion consists of an intermediate clasp of crossed arms to indicate the type of weapon that was used to earn the award rifle, pistol, or, soon thereafter, automatic weapons. In this case it has crossed rifles. The third, lower piece is a planchet, that when enameled, told the arm or the type of service, in this case, blue for Infantry. The central design is a bow and a pair of arrows. The planchet consists of three concentric designs. 0625 in diameter, displays a compound bow and two crossed arrows, a symbol of marksmanship. Outside of that is a center ring, 015 in width, which displays 13 stars. An oak-leaf wreath executed in bronze surrounds the entire design, making the planchet 1-1/2 in width. The combatant arms had bronze stars with the ring enameled in blue for Infantry. They would be responsible to send the package to you.

This one was awarded to the 507th Coast Artillery (AA) For Outstanding Performance In The Coast Artillery Corps 1934. The brass portion was made by GORHAM. I don’t know much about the history of this award. The Coast Artillery formed in 1901 and ended in 1950. I was told these awards began around 1932. I’d be willing to bet none were presented after 1941. During certain years, more than one award was given. I believe two were awarded in 1934. This plaque was presented by Colonel Wilson the 7th Corps Chief of Staff and awarded to the 507th. The 507th CO and XO had their name plates added to the bottom of this plaque. The plaque came from the estate of the CO’s family. Thanks to a good friend, he found a news article from the Des Moines Tribune showing Colonel Wilson presenting this EXACT plaque. I could find only one plaque known to exist. It is in a New York museum. It is shown as belonging to the Old Guard of The City of New York and was presented to the 244th Coast Artillery T. You can see the pictures online. The wood portion of my plaque measures 23 1/2 inches tall, 19 1/4 inches wide and 5/8 inches thick. The bronze portion measures 19 3/4 inches tall, 14 1/4 inches wide and 5/16 inch thick. The entire piece weighs just under 16 pounds. I found some information on the 507th: 507th Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment (SM) Constituted in OR 7-29-21 as 507th Arty, CAC, and allotted to the Seventh Corps Area. Des Moines, IA, March 1922. Redesignated 507th CA (AA) 1924. Withdrawn from OR 8-18-33 and allotted to the RA as an inactive unit. Moved to Minneapolis 9-30-40. Redesignated 507th CA (AA) Regt (SM) 5-9-42 and activated (less Btry I) 8-1-42 at Cp. Reorganized 10-10-42 as 507th CA (AA) Regt (Mobile).

The newspaper clippings are NOT in my possession. They were sent to me by a friend who found them online. What you see is what you’ll get. Feel Free To Ask Questions.
