Hello,

Looks to me like a fantasy piece-o-crap.

Best regards,

Thanks, thats what I was thinking also but wanted to be sure.

Looks like a well-worn veteran's organizational pin. Clearer photos of the front and back might help determine authenticity.

Hello guys,

Wow! So there are real pins similar to the one posted. Sorry about the "fantasy" statement. I have never seen one before. But the one that started this thread is still a fake, in my opinion. To say that this thing is crude, is an understatement. I've tried to enlarge the image a bit, but the detail gets a bit fuzzy.

Best regards,
Tom

[chainsawrich]

yes I would agree, its crude compaired to the one in the book. The original looks to have a smaller eagle much more detailed.

I know have a shot of the back

I have to say sorry about this one

One look at that pin plate should tell you all you need to know.

[chainsawrich]

Here's an original. It's not as bright as it looks, that's due to the glare of the scanner.

cheers
