Description Authentic U.S. Army Infantry branch collar insignia featuring the classic crossed Springfield rifles. This example shows a lighter bronze patina, the result of natural aging and storage conditions rather than a distinct production finish. The rifles retain crisp detail, and the original screw‑back hardware is present.

Era & Identification This piece dates to approximately 1943–1950, based on its construction and hardware:

  • Crossed rifles with sharp bolt and barrel detail

  • Standard bronze alloy with light, even patina

  • Screw‑back post with original knurled keeper nut

  • Smooth field with minimal oxidation

Historical Background The crossed rifles emblem has represented the Infantry since 1875. During WWII and the immediate post‑war years, insignia manufacturers used a consistent bronze alloy. Differences in color today come from patina development — influenced by storage, handling, and exposure — making lighter and darker tones both authentic and collectible.

Condition

  • Original screw‑back post and keeper nut present

  • Strong rifle detail

  • Light, uniform patina

  • No cracks, bends, or repairs

Collector Notes A clean WWII–post‑war Infantry collar disk with attractive light patina. Ideal for display, restoration, or comparative sets showing natural aging differences across bronze insignia.
