Honor history with this authentic WWII-era Crossed Rifles lapel pin. This classic piece of military insignia was traditionally worn by U.S. Army Infantry personnel, symbolizing the core of the American fighting force during the 1940s. Its rugged, historical character makes it an exceptional find for military collectors and history enthusiasts alike.

Design: Iconic Crossed Rifles (typically Springfield or Garand style) representing the Infantry branch of the U.S. Military.
Materials: Durable silver-toned metal (likely white brass or nickel silver) with an authentic aged patina.
Hallmarks: Professionally stamped with "G23" on the reverse, a maker's mark used to identify authorized military contractors.
Hardware: Features a double clutch-back (pinette) design with original brass-toned butterfly fasteners for a secure, non-rotate fit.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a natural, unpolished patina that preserves its historical integrity.

Why You’ll Love It

Genuine Military Heritage: This is not a reproduction. The "G23" hallmark and the specific wear on the clutch backs indicate an authentic piece of military history from the mid-20th century.
Striking "Find" Quality: The silver-on-brass contrast provides a rugged, industrial aesthetic that looks just as good on a modern denim jacket or lapel as it does in a display case.
Versatile Statement: Whether you are a WWII reenactor, a veteran, or a collector of "Curious Finds," this pin serves as a powerful and compact piece of storytelling.
