Any opinions on when they stopped the square end runes on EM collar tabs? Was it particular to one manufacturer? Any help would be appreciated!

This style of rune is usually seen on early prewar insignia. I don't believe it was specific to one maker, but just the style of the time.Comment

Thanks Sonny, I got them from an armor vet, who got them is a German town after he crossed the Rhine. He also gave me a paratrooper knife with a broken spring and a 98k short dress bayonet - a really nice guy, but tight-lipped on the war. He brought them to school on VE day; they used to have vets speak at the high schools about their wartime experiences (at least in Colorado)- and in 1974, it seemed the whole school custodial staff were WWII vets.Originally posted by SonnyComment
