USMC Pin?

[DevilDog812]

hi,
im posting this for someone from another forum, heres what he said:

So my dad found this in the yard when he was doing yard work. I want to know mainly if its worth anything. Im pretty sure its real silver and have no clue if those are real diamonds though. either way i think its pretty cool, if any of you have any information on this it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It's a sweetheart pin. The Marine would give it to his girlfriend or wife. That's a nice looking one.

As to worth I have no clue. It depends on age but USMC stuff is a bit more collectible than the other services.

thanks for the info. do you think it is probably a homemade one? it is a little expensive for being homemade, but it has no maker markings whatsoever, not even a "sterling" stamp

I doubt its homemade. There are many different sweetheart items made. You would have to do a search to find the exact piece of jewelry.http://usmcshop.grunt.com/Products/Marines/PID-RING26.aspx Im surprised its not marked sterling. Maybe its not.

I agree it's not homemade. May be a PX purchase.
