Description
This rare and highly detailed U.S. military badge is a sterling silver piece likely dating from the early 20th century, featuring classic American artillery symbolism and craftsmanship.
The front displays a striking combination of two crossed cannons with a shell above, surmounted by a bold eagle-an unmistakable representation of U.S. Field Artillery heritage. At the center is a beautifully enameled U.S. shield flanked by detailed leaves, embodying strength, honor, and patriotism.
The reverse is stamped “Sterling” and bears the hallmark “S. Fischer N.Y.”, indicating a New York-based maker known for producing limited-run military insignia, likely for officers, veterans’ groups, or ceremonial use. It is fitted with a classic early-style safety clasp, confirming its vintage authenticity.
