WWII Paratroop Sterling Silver Badge USMC Officer pin back

This is a museum quality sterling silver reproduction of a World War II Paratrooper Badge with an USMC EGA that is gold plated for an Officer attached pin back based on an AE design. A marine upon completeion of jump school is awarded the standard Army Paratrooper badge until they have completed their fifth jump for the USMC Badge. Of course some Marines would nto wear an Army badge so I am sure this was made to show they were a Marine and proud of it.

Note the photo does not show the EGA gold plated.
