Bought two random boxes of a man’s jewelry boxes and pulled all this out of them. I don’t know enough about military pins and such to be able to even start identifying them. Any help you can provide I would appreciate. I’ve numbered them to help us discuss them easily.

To the right Marine, maybe $25.00 :occasion14:
 

2 is there Dominican campaign medal
3 are Majors rank insignia
10 is the pin version of th good conduct medal

Value? Probbaly not much but double check ebay
 

1 and 6 are Marine Corp globe and anchor. One of them is older, I think #1 w/chain.
7-8-9 MAY be Warrant officer insignia (w1)
11 is aviation tec.
5 & 12 may be foreign. Any markings on the back of them? Check epay for value. Good luck.
 

11 = Air Force / Army Aviation Branch Insignia... Collar. WW2
 

You have a few hard to find pieces there.
1 and 6 USMC collar devices, would like to see close ups of the backs.
5 & 12 are USMC Pay master 1927-46.
7-9 are Chief Warrant Officer 1926-1943
4- The best piece in my opinion. It is a United Confederate Veterans reunion badge from the 1917 Washington DC reunion.

Here is a very good read that explains many of your pieces. USMC department devices, Gunner Bombs, WO bars and band lyres - MARINES - U.S. Militaria Forum


THANK YOU so much!!! I knew someone on Tnet could pint me in the right direction. I'll get the backs posted of the USMC Collar Devices and I have more insignia to identify.
 

Nice finds! :icon_thumleft:

1 & 6 are Marine
