Very Rare Early WWII Wake Island "V" for Victory Pin in Plastic

This is a very rare Wake Island "V" for victory pin from early World War II. On the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, United States Marine Corps Marine Fighter Squadron (VMF-211) was at Wake Island in the North Pacific and had more than half of their aircraft destroyed by the Japanese. The pin is in red plastic and the bar that once proudly read WAKE ISLAND is somewhat worn.

Circa early World War II.

Approximately 1-9/16" in height and 1-5/8" in width.

Plastic.

Horizontal safety pin.

None.

This is from a homefront collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJX11 L/SHEX8/12

7- (Very Fine-): The pin shows some moderate wear.

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