Here is a link to the 1942 Office of Civilian Defense regulation on insignia that is probably the first regulation governing CAP insignia.

Interestingly, you could possibly have been prosecuted for not wearing the insignia properly.
It was a different era back then... people were actually held accountable. :o
Thanks for sharing this manual. It is an interesting read! ;D
:clap: Coooool..... I'll put it up on the CAP Patches website soon, which will hopefully lead to more people seeing it.
So what insignia did you wear if you had OCD? >:D
Doesn't matter so long as you kept it clean and bright enough to blind people.
If you do a search at the US Patent & Trademark Office on the design patents listed in the document, you find that the CAP insignia were designed by:
"Walter P. Burn and Helen Jurkops, Washington, D.C., assignors to United States of America, as represented by James M. Landis, United States Director of Civilian Defense, Office of Civil Defense..."

Enter the D-# from the document without the hyphen into "Term 1" and be sure to set the correct date range.
