Original U.S. WWII Homefront Army Navy “E” Excellence in Production 3rd Award Pennant Lot For Factory War Production, Presented To Western Machine Tool Works in Holland, Michigan - 98” x 48” German Militaria For its actions at Kasserine

For its actions at Kasserine the regiment was decorated with the Croix de Guerre by the French Government and it received its first Presidential Unit Citation for its actions near Mateur

The 32 inch blade of this example is in excellent condition

The "mobile" swas (hook crosses) on both sides are clear and still the oak leaves around them are raised out and heavily hand enhanced

This means that it has not been arsenal reconditioned

That probably puts production around 1847-48
