Description
Established in 1942, the U.S. Army Transportation Corps played a crucial role in ensuring the efficient movement of personnel, equipment and supplies. During World War 2, these collar discs were produced as a single piece to conserve metals. However, post-war versions, which influence the design of these reproductions, adopted a two-piece construction, allowing the insignia to be detached from the disc – an option often used by officers for separate wear.
These collar discs, manufactured by Vanguard, measure just 1 inch in diameter, come with a gold-tone finish and feature the iconic ship’s helm and winged wheel shield at their centre. Complete with a strong card backing and two clutch pins on their reverse, these collar discs are ideal for collectors, historians and reenactors seeking authentic detail for their impression.
