WW2 US USAAF DUI Distinctive Uniform Insignia Collars Pair

WW2 US USAAF DUI Distinctive Uniform Insignia Collars Pair This item consists of a matched pair of US Army Air Forces (USAAF) Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI) collar badges from the World War II period. These insignia were officially worn on the collars of service uniforms by USAAF personnel to designate unit affiliation. Both insignia are constructed with metal and typically feature enamel detailing, displaying specific unit symbols and colors as authorized for the applicable command or group. Each badge measures approximately 1 inch in diameter and features either clutch-back or pin-back fastening systems, in line with period manufacturing standards. During World War II, such insignia served both as functional markers of unit identity and as symbols of esprit de corps within the US Army Air Forces. Condition, patina, and any maker’s marks on the reverse can further assist with dating and identification. This pair represents typical USAAF uniform insignia from the 1941–1945 era.
