SIZE: About 2-3/4" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Bullion embroidered wool felt, silk ribbon, paperboard, linen backing.

ATTACHMENT: To be sewn onto garment.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a WWII CBI Theater collection which we just acquired and will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEJX17 LEIEX8/17

CONDITION: 9 (Excellent-Near Mint): Very light fraying.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
