U.S.M.C. Badge

Hi Guys,

We recently acquired this in a veteran's consignment lot at the shop I consult at. It is beautifully made.

Is this some kind of souvenir? Some one of a kind thing that the vet had made for himself? Or?

Also, to me it seems older than WWII era, but that is just a guess. The vet's father was a Marine who served in WWI, so that's where the guess originates from.

If any of you know what this is or can steer me in the right direction, I would appreciate it greatly - as usual.

Cheers,
Richie
