| Civilians | Can anyone help me identify a small bronze pin which appears to be a military pin? It is ~3/4" high by 3/4" wide. It has an eagle, wings spread, atop a wheel with 13 stars (US?) around the rim. Across the wheel (and each other) are a key and a sword or foil. I can provide a photo if that would help. Thanks |

| Civilians | Thanks for the ID. I quickly found a confirming example via Google. It shows a pin where the 'wheel' appears to be open or pierced. The example I have in hand has a 'solid' or filled-in wheel. It is all bronze with no enamel. Is that significant (perhaps it is an older example)? Here's where I found the image.
