This is an amazing Naval Hat Pin from World War II. It can be taken apart in two pieces....the silver and gold plates.....See the photo above. On each plate there is a screw and a washer-like piece holding them together. At the top, a Majestic silver Bald Eagle with Sterling silver wings stretched out wide. The word Sterling is stamped in the back at the top of the left wing. On the right gold Anchor it reads 1/20 10k. Our National Bird, with its large claws, is standing on a shield with the stars and stripes. The bottom has two gold anchors with chains. The pin is very detailed and the work is impeccable. Stunning, Impressive an truly a piece of History.
These are just a few of many makers including Trifari, Coro, Hillborn&Hamburger.
Height: 2-1/4"
