2 thank you's! The first for the kind comment on the find, and the second for your service!!! You fought for us & our freedoms. The reason we are able to use forums like this to express ourselves, versus third world countries where they cannot, is chiefly because of service men & women like yourself who sacrificed themselves & fought for our freedoms. Much appreciated & God bless
Any idea on the age of the piece?

compared to size.....is it about the size of a quarter or larger? The reason why i ask is bc it could be a collar pin or 'piss cover' (the name for the specific headware. It appears to pretty modern. Just looking at it, its an enlisted Marine emblem and it appears it would have been on the right side of a dress uniform so the anchor points inward. The original color would be black or anodized brass. Also looks rather modern based on the variation of the eagle, globe and anchor.

Thank you for the info! Yeah, I suspected it wasn't too old, but wasn't sure. It's still a terrific piece, and to hold something in my hand that a uniformed soldier actually wore is badass.
Again, thank you for your service. It is a privilege to count you as a member
