Does anyone know the time period that Lordship Industries/Products used the hallmark "Lordship NY-GI"?????? I believe it to be sometime in the 1980's. Thanks for the help! Mark sends
The Vanguard hallmark on the air crew wing is 1950s as you have the code 1V on each side of the V. The captain bars look like they have the code V21 on each side of the V so this would date it from the 1960s on.
Well I wonder if this is the last hallmark ever used on military insignia by Hilborn Hamburger - a simple three digit number 362 - It is a USMC "approval number" granted to the specific maker to manufacture and sell the emblem (uniform articles as well).
- All currently certified contractors who have been assigned a manufacturer’s hallmark code have been included. However, a number of those do not make metal emblems and they are flagged with their specialty (textile, decal, bullion, plaque). See the code list for more detail.
The Ira Green Company is located in New York and has been manufacturing Military Insignia since 1943. They are currently in business and one of a few Military Insignia businesses still in operation. The hallmarks used are 3G and G23. Shown here are the two hallmarks on Parachute wings.
This was the official hallmark of Vanguard till the current logo seen on present packaging came into being in 1983. Prior to that they used the block letter logo on Air Force wings (post WWII) and script or block on Navy wings (WWII).
