U.S. Army Sterling Silver Pin

Happy to hear you like the pin. I've been waiting for them to release it in pewter since the price of the silver is a bit dear.

I think that, that when the pins become available in pewter, they will sell quickly. But the Celtic Croft website states ....

"These badges are available NOW to order in sterling silver. Pewter will be available eventually, but probably several months away at this point."

Hopefully it will not be too many months, as I think that there are U.S. Army veterans who will be very interested in acquiring one. And, Celtic Croft offers the option of donating 10% of the price to a worthy cause, in my case the Wounded Warrior Project.

That's something of an extra added bonus I would gladly support. Guess I have to wait until the USN badges are available...

I think that the pins for all the Services - USN, USAF, USMC and USCG - are also beauties. Hopefully Celtic Croft will take notice of the interest and hurry up on production.

I know the other branches are in the works.
When I last spoke to the owner, he was altering the artwork for the USCG to be compliant with their current standards.

Pity they don't do British Armed Forces.

I think the current version of the USCG badge is a particularly good looking piece. I once considered joining the Coast Guard. They have a very long history of Service, beginning as the Revenue Marine/U.S. Revenue Cutter Service in August 1790 - Happy 224th !!. But my uncle Samuel thought that the U.S. Army was the place for me.
