Here are a couple of better pictures. Even the grommet seems weird to me.

The Aluminum badges were used in the 40's.

I have several marchers with them

Take a look at the resource for other badges

Very well but the badge pictured isn't exactly like the reference. Perhaps they had many different ones. The badge that says President is not quite the same.

The badge listed in that link is exactly like the one you have pictured. Yours even has the hint of the coating as well.

It`s a 30`s badge.

I see no difference, Do you ?

From drumfx

One is brass and the other is aluminum. Also the one i have has a silver grommet.

The one I have pictured is Electroplated Aluminum, easy to polish off. All steel grommets can be polished to a shine.

Yours goes on a marching drum.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
