U.S. ARMY MARKSMANSHIP QUALIFICATION BADGES - RIFLE.
I am no expert on this subject so I hope those you are will enlighten me and the CW folks as to the proper ID of this metal .
I do know it is marked Sterling on the back.
thank you
Sterling silver US Army expert marksman. Likely 1960's to 1970's.
It is an Expert qualification badge for the rifle. There are three levels and this is the highest-- Expert/ Sharpshooter/ Marksman. The same badge with a different clasp is used for other weapons systems.
The pin back is more typical of WW2 era as is the sterling markings on the rifle clasp.
