1946 West Point, US Military Academy (USMA) Class Pin. Smaller, Sweetheart Size

1946 West Point, United States Military Academy (USMA) class pin. This example is a smaller, sweetheart size and shows a US Shield with the letters: "USMA" and above reads: "1946" with crossed swords behind. The top of the class pin shows a nicely detailed eagle, wings spread. The reverse is marked "gold-filled", but the pin is heavily tarnished and may be just sterling silver.

Circa 1946

Approximately 11/16" x 11/16"

Gold filled (?), sterling

Vertical pin with drop in locking swivel catch

"HOOD – PHILA GOLD FILLED"

This is from a US Military collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VGX16 LAFEX10/16

7 (Very Fine): The pin shows minor to moderate wear, heavily tarnished, overall very fine condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
