Scarce WWII USN Bureau of Yards & Docks Meritorious Civilian Service Victory Pin

This is a circa World War II Meritorious Civilian Service (MSC) lapel pin presented by the United States Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks. Responsible for maintenance of all shipbuilding facilities until 1966, the Bureau awarded the MSC to certain non-military individuals who helped to further their goal. The pin has a "V" resting against some oak leaves at its center that stands for "Victory".

Circa World War II.

Approximately 3/4" in diameter.

Sterling silver, gilt and plated brass, painted areas.

Vertical pin on bar with tongue-style catch.

None.

This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-RJK-25-13 LFJX6/13 SLDHX6/17 SDHX8/18

7+ (Very Fine+): The pin has some light wear and tarnish.

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