WW II Invasion Star Earrings

$36.00

Before 1943, it was common for allied vehicles overseas to carry a simple white star as an identifier, but in the dust and confusion of battle, the allied or “US star” could occasionally be mistaken for a German Cross at ranges over 1000 yards. Adding the circle around the star prevented this.
