Two photos of conscripted sodiers.  The one on the left is from the Patricios Regiment, which you can tell by the parm patch.  The collar has 2 traditional metal tabs.  The photo is circa 1945-50.  The soldier on the right has a uniform from the 1950s.  As you can see the collar tab is smaller and has a number below it.  It may be from a transitional period in the evolution of uniforms.

National Oval Shield Badge

Picture
An embroidered golden national shield in excellent condition, pre-1940.  Disagreements at the end of WWII determined the end of imported embroidered shields from Europe and the appearance of the stamped metal shield in great varieties of models made in the country.

Above is a bronze shield.  These were generally used in the pith helmets. 

National Cockade Pin "Cocarda"

Picture
The Argentine national cockade was used during the entire 19th cdntury.  At first it was made of fabric or embroidered.  By the beginnng of the 20th century it began to be painted wood in a circular form.  During the 20th century the national cockade was seen in metal with different designs, depending on the manufacturer.  The aove cockade could be called the "first pattern" with respect to the more modern designs.  It was a metal circle that imitated the pleats of the cloth cockade.
Picture
Picture
These two more modern examples could be called the "second pattern", enameled.  The were presented in a more compact size than the first.  The cockade on the right has a golden mark.  It may have been configured like that for officers.
