In 1988, the unit was redesignated as the First Battalion, 101st Field Artillery, Massachusetts National Guard. The badge is convex and has enameled lettering and an enameled striped crest upon an eagle's breast.

SIZE: Approximately 2-1/16" in height and 1-7/8" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Gilt brass, enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Single screw post with two stabilization posts.

ITEM NOTES: This is from an early 20th century United States Army hat badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBGX14 LADEX5/14 SADEX06/20

CONDITION: 7+ (Very Fine+): The badge shows only light wear; a couple of very tiny buts of enamel missing.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
