This is a classic 1940s-1950s U.S. Army Warrant Officer's visor cap eagle insignia, a distinguished emblem denoting rank and authority during the mid-20th century. Crafted from cast brass, the design features a detailed eagle nestled within a wreath, symbolizing leadership and service. Measuring 4 cm x 5.5 cm (approximately 1.6" x 2.2"), this insignia was designed for secure attachment to the visor cap of a U.S. Army Warrant Officer's uniform, reflecting the era’s emphasis on precision and tradition in military regalia.
 
The eagle-and-wreath motif is both timeless and regulation-specific, representing the Warrant Officer’s unique role as a technical expert and leader. This piece would have been proudly worn during pivotal moments such as the Korean War or the post-WWII reorganization of the U.S. military. The cast brass construction ensures durability, with subtle details highlighting the eagle’s feathers and the wreath’s texture.
 
The condition is excellent for its age, with original components fully intact and no significant damage. The piece shows period-appropriate wear, including gentle patina and minor surface aging, which enhance its authenticity without diminishing its visual impact. The attachment prongs (or screw posts) remain functional, ready for display or careful restoration.
 
Ideal for collectors of U.S. militaria, insignia, or 20th-century military history, this emblem is a tangible piece of Army heritage. It appeals to those focused on rank-specific artifacts or the evolution of military symbolism.
