Wwii Anti Axis 1284th Combat Engineer Battalion Wood Display Sign -original Army
Up for sale is an original unique piece of art. This item was most likely handmade by/for someone assigned to the 1284th combat engineer battalion during WWII. The all walnut wood display piece is roughly 8 long, 7.5 tall, and 2.75 wide. The shield hanging in the middle looks to be hand painted.
The magpie holds the severed heads of Hirohito and Hitler. Given the detail of this item I would imagine it was displayed by a unit commander or officer. The 1284th was deployed the European and Asian theaters during WWII. This is truly a beautiful piece.
The last photo is the front cover of a 1284th booklet that I found while researching online. This is not included in the sale but just to show as a reference.
