Insignia

Description

This pin was probably given to Margaret McKnitt by one of the many friends she made while working at Dover Army Airfield. It’s not identified as U.S. military insignia and is probably foreign. The gold eagle clutches three black arrows in its claws. There are also several hallmarks on the back that have not been identified. The clasp on the back is made of a pin and movable cylinder.
