Good morning. Came across this one recently. I have seen many similar, but think the detail in this one may date it a little older than those. Two piece pinback. Silver part stamped GMS Inc NY or GHS Inc NY on the back. No marking on the gold part but would presume it is gold filled by the feel and look.
USN officer hat badge.
Not certain on era, but would suspect more modern (post WW2) due to double pin back vs. pin and a screwback.

great info....still wondering about the maker...mark on back.
I am not familiar with that maker-- maybe some online research will yield a result.

I found one just like it in a box of costume jewelry at an estate sale. Can you tell me about it?
