Distinctive Insignias: History of the Adopting of the State Distinctive Device, and Regimental Coats of Arms, and Distinctive Devices
NY, 1930. 1st. Hard. 4to. Unpublished notebook, 9" x 11 1/4" containing original artwork and designs, official documents, orders and correspondence pertaining to regimental coats of arms and distinctive insignia for the period 1922-1930. Notebook opens with three pages of formal guidelines for regimental colors and devices, then begins in earnest with original signed Adjutant General order No. 244, October, 1922 calling Falls "to active duty without pay or allowances for service in connection with submission of coats of arms for colors, distinctive badges, insignia, etc." The notebook contains 2 full-page original watercolors and 16 original crest and shield drawings in color pencil (State National Guard Headquarters and 7 regiments - 10th, 14th, 71st, 105th, 106th, 107th, 108th Infantry), along with correspondence, blueprints, design approval documents and finely printed samples for some designs. There is detailed correspondence on Falls\' New York State "Half Moon" design, when the Quartermaster Corp of the War Department in Washington severely altered his original conception. Author, artist, military general and New York City socialite DeWitt Clinton Falls (1864-1937) was an authority on military heraldry and uniforms and a designer of military insignia. His papers are held by the New York Public Library and the American Numismatic Society. This Notebook includes: Original watercolor "Half Moon", Nov 1922; 2 letters, Dec, 1922; Memorandum from the Secretary of War Dec, 1922 approving the design; Original watercolor "Regimental Colors for New York National Guard", 1922; Correspondence with Adjutant General\'s Office and the War Department with 2 blueprints; Copy of "First Design submitted by War Department for emblem of State of New York.

He points out technical and aesthetic weaknesses (with the eye of an artist) of the Quartermaster drawing that can be easily resolved.; Letter and enclosures to Falls from Adjutant General\'s Office, June 25 that they are in receipt of Quartermaster revisions and asking him to review; Falls June 28 reply, "it is about as near right as we can get it and same can be returned approved"; Original color pencil drawing "Headquarters Device" with 1 page description.
