ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES NAVY CAPTAIN/MARINE CORPS COLONEL “WAR EAGLE” RANK INSIGNIA, 1-1/2 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK W/ LOCKING CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!
Beautiful United States Air Corps 5th Bomb Group distinctive insignia marked on the reverse to Dondero. Part of the 5th Operations Group, one of the original combat groups and their military success dates to the beginning of military aviation. The group was redesignated in the early 1920’s from the 2nd Group (Observation) to the 5th Group (Observation) before becoming the 5th Group (Pursuit and Bombardment) a year later. At the end of the 1930’s, it was redisignated again in 1939 becoming the 5th Bombardment Group (Heavy) operating the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses. The insignia is a winged skull or winged death’s head featuring two piece gilt brass construction with the skull in plated nickel and enamel facial details. There is a gilt scroll embellishment at the base of the wings that reads: “KIAI O KALEWA” in enamel, which translates to “Guardians of the Upper Realms”.
