Material: Nickel-silver (white metal)
Size: 45mm
Description: The piece is an authentic United States military uniform item featuring the American bald eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing peace and war. A multi-striped shield rests on the chest of the eagle, while its beak clasps a scrolling banner that displays the traditional national motto: E Pluribus Unum. Above the head of the eagle sits a circular constellation of stars representing the original thirteen colonies. The entire design is beautifully framed within a solid, continuous outer ring that measures 45mm in diameter. The reverse of the badge features a classic unmarked threaded post and thumb-nut mechanism intended to securely attach the award directly to the fabric of a structured military cap.
Circa: Mid to late 20th Century
Notes:
While the iconic cut-out style eagle is traditionally associated with Army officer cap badges, it uniquely serves as the standard service hat insignia for female enlisted personnel.
