This is museum quality reproduction of the USMC Paratrooper badge made in sterling silver with a 24 karat gold plate from the Korean era and still in use today. After training the Marine is awarded the same basic paratrooper badge that both the Army and Air Force use. This badge is awarded after the 5 additional jumps including two at night and must be accomplished from at least two different aircraft. There are two versions of this badge, a pin back that was used until the mid 1960's and the clutch back that was used since the start of the badge in 1951. This is the hard to find pin back version that was used from the Korean era until early Vietnam.
