Beautiful WWII US Coast Guard (USCG) Sweetheart Pin

This is a beautiful World War II era United States Coast Guard sweetheart pin. The pin is two anchors crossed behind a faux jewel-encrusted life preserver that encircles a painted crest and the motto SEMPER PARATUS (always ready).

Circa World War II.

Approximately 1-1/2" in height and 1-1/2" in width.

Plated white metal with painted details, rhinestones.

Horizontal pin with come-under locking swivel catch.

None.

This is from a United States Coast Guard collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. RAEX06 LDEX8/11 SDJX2/15

6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The pin shows some small spots of medium wear where some bits of paint and rhinestones are missing.

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