ROY222 Posted November 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2014 Purchased a group of items that contained an old Army Distinguished Pistol shot badge. No markings on it and it appears to possibly be gold? One pin on the back the flips open and close. Were the early ones made of gold? It looks a little bit larger than the current ones. When did they first start issueing these? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teufelhunde.ret Posted November 10, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2014 If it is Gold, it would be marked as such (ie 10k-12k etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROY222 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted November 12, 2014 The bar is a little longer on the one that appears older. The newer one is marked 10K on the back. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbridge Posted November 12, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 12, 2014 The one is marked 10kt gold...you need to have the other tested...it almost looks crude and cast...I have never seen a issue one that poorly made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
