Description: This large circular, slightly domed brass uniform insignia features a highly detailed, sharp relief stamping of the Great Seal of the United States. At the center is a bald eagle with outspread wings, bearing a striped heraldic shield on its chest, clutching an olive branch in its right talon, and holding a bundle of thirteen arrows in its left talon. A stylized ribbon banner is draped in the eagle's beak, positioned directly below a circular cloud motif framing thirteen miniature five-pointed stars. The entire polished eagle insignia is mounted directly to a contrasting, matte-brushed flat golden brass disk base with a smooth, clean outer border.
