This is museum quality reproduction of the USMC Paratrooper badge sand cast in brass with a 24 karat gold plate as made in county during the Vietnam era. This is made the same way the originals were made in the back alleys of Saigon. This reproduction even uses brass nails for the posts and while not shown the plastic holders are provided.
The badge is 2 13/16 inches wide. Not very common in many Vietnam collections, here is a chance to own one of these until a real one comes along.
