Cap Badge, United States Maritime Service, American President Lines (Hillborn-Hamburger - Type 2a)
Title
Cap Badge, United States Maritime Service, American President Lines (Hillborn-Hamburger - Type 2a)
Description
Ca. 1942-1945. Three-piece construction, full-size for wear on combination cap. Hallmarked Hillborn-Hamburger; the reverse of the eagle-shield device has "wavey channels" albeit they are in low relief.
This variation of the cap badge follows the woven badge carefully - it employes cables to secure the laurels.
The house flag is hallmarked "Gemsco" (General Embroidery and Military Supply Company) within a wreath.
