This pin was part of a large lot of over 700 military DUI DI insignia pins purchased at an estate sale. The seller was an avid collector of military items and he specialized in the WWII and Vietnam era.

Enameled, gold with oriental azure blue in color. It features a shield with a hand supporting an annulet. Within the annulet is a human eye. Below the shield are the words "Informare Laboramus".

It measures 1-1/8th inch in each direction. It is stamped on the back "D-22 Denmark N.Y. 10012 Made in USA". The back has a double clutch holder.

Going by the description below, this insignia pin should be from the Vietnam time frame.

Per the Institute of Heraldry website:
Symbolism
Oriental blue is the color traditionally associated with Military Intelligence units. The annulet, symbolic of a camera lens refers to the Aerial-Photo Interpretation mission in the unit's history. The wings allude to flight, the eye represents observation. The lightning flash alludes to the signal element in the unit's composition and the hand commemorates the unit's mission in support.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 1st Air Reconnaissance Support Battalion on 12 December 1961. It was redesignated for the 1st Military Intelligence Battalion on 20 April 1962.

You will receive the actual pin that you see in my photo.

Although small, when wrapped it will exceed the postal limit of one quarter of an inch for normal envelope mailing. Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Package. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $3.99.

I gladly combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can safely fit in to a single package. It is best if possible to contact me first to let me know which items you'll be purchasing so that I can adjust the shipping charges, otherwise at checkout you will be charged the full shipping fee for each item. Should that happen, and if appropriate to do so, I refund a portion of those charges.

NOTE - With this year's postal increase, all shipping charges increased and international shipping took a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.

All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
