Historical Context

The Infantry collar disk with crossed rifles was introduced in the early 20th century as the official branch insignia of the U.S. Infantry. Together with the “US” collar disk, it became standard wear on U.S. Army uniforms.

N.S. Meyer Inc., founded in 1868, became one of the most prominent manufacturers of U.S. military insignia. During World War I and World War II, Meyer supplied vast quantities of insignia to the U.S. Armed Forces. Original Meyer-backed cards are today highly regarded indicators of authenticity and period-correct production.
