Manufacturers of U.S. Metal Emblems - Alphabetical

W.W.I to Present

This list is alphabetical. See the following post for a list by code number.

This catalog primarily lists manufacturers of metal emblems. Some companies also produced cloth insignia and other items that may bear these names or hallmarks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Emblems are often not marked with the manufacturer’s full name (for example, “Vanguard” instead of “Vanguard Military Equipment Co.”). Extreme and cryptic abbreviations and logos are listed in parenthesis.

- Post-1950s alpha-numeric manufacturer’s codes are provided where applicable (see the following post for a compilation of these codes) but this should not be interpreted as the sole period of production for a company. The Hilborn-Hamburger firm, for example, currently employs the code “H24.” However, this company made emblems decades before the implementation of the code mark system.

- All currently certified contractors who have been assigned a manufacturer’s hallmark code have been included. However, a number of those do not make metal emblems and they are flagged with their specialty (textile, decal, bullion, plaque). See the code list for more detail.

- Categories of emblems known to have been made by each manufacturer are abbreviated as follows:

I= Insignia (service arm, branch, distinctive unit, etc.)
M= Medals
W= “Wing” qualification badges (aviation, airborne)

Manufacturers' Marks on "Wings" and Other Badges

Notes on the Listings

- Listings are compiled from a variety of sources that confirmed actual examples. However, voids undoubtedly exist and forum members are urged to report additional information.

- Maker’s names are abbreviated and do not necessarily indicate exactly how they appear on manufactured items. Actual marks appear in full or are abbreviated in various ways, may or may not have had some form of address, and (ending roughly in the Viet Nam era) typically included a “Sterling” or other silver mark. See the manufacturer’s listing above for full names and locations.

- Most early wings were not hallmarked but known makers include the following: Dunham, Eisenstadt, Halston, Homrichous, Linz, Robbins, Shreve, and Tiffany.

- Prior to introduction of The Institute of Heraldry’s certification program many items were marked only with metal content marks (e.g. “Sterling”, “1/20 10K GF”) or bore no mark at all. Current regulations (AR 672-8) require use of the manufacturers’ “hallmark” (TIOH certification code) on Army items. Use of the Army codes, followed by “-N” or “-CG” have been used for some Navy and Coast Guard items.

- Pin versus clutch fasteners:

“Contrary to the opinions of some collectors, clutch fasteners were indeed placed on wing badges as early as 1940 – possibly a little earlier – and these are contemporary with pin backs. Many sterling silver wings with clutch backs were worn throughout World War II.” J. Duncan Campbell, Aviation Badges and Insignia of the United States Army 1913-1946.

“A note on clutch back insignia – for years, collectors (including myself) have preferred pin back wings, perhaps feeling that they were more certain to be of wartime vintage than clutch back style wings. The esteemed dean of American wing collectors and noted author Duncan Campbell set me straight on this point in a 1985 letter. In this letter he stated, ‘In September 1942, the Secretary of War approved the wing badge for Army Air Crew Member, except for the pin back. He decreed that this wing badge, and all future government purchases, would have clutch backs.” Mr. Campbell had found this information in the micro files at Carlisle. As all QMC government purchases of wings from September ’42 on were of the newly authorized style, he concluded in his letter, ‘collectors who think less of WWII clutch backs are wrong to do so.” George B. Harris, Military and Historical Americana, catalog #29.

“It is also easy to see how a significant amount of conflicting, and inaccurate, information could have circulated after fifty years or so. One piece of information which is purported by some, yet totally untrue, is that World War II wing badges are all ‘pin back’ and ‘clutch back’ wings are postwar.” Jon A Maguire, Silver Wings Pinks & Greens: Uniforms, Wings & Insignia of USAAF Airmen in World War II.

“Army Regulation 600-25, 31 December 1926, authorized the first clutch fastener. This new special clutch fastener was first advertised by N.S. Meyer in the Army and Navy Register dated 27 November, 1926, page 517.” Ron Willis and Thomas Carmichael, United States Navy Wings of Gold: From 1917 to the Present.
