I found this pin on a former Army base (pre WWI through Vietnam). The link shows the history of the battalion associated with this pin. All of the enlisted soldiers were black, and the battalion continued until desegregation in 1951. It's one of my favorite finds.
If possible, I'd like to get the parts that I think should be shining brass (roof of the building, scrolls, etc.) back to what they should be without hurting the blue and white enamels. What do you recommend? Thanks for your help!
