Here's some pics of what I believe is a Gemsco produced USMC Expert Rifleman badge. I believe I'm correct in saying the open "C" catch and crossed Krags would date it Pre-WW1. The Starburst interspaced with Diamonds pattern would make it a GEMSCO produced piece. It was silver washed originally but most of it has since worn away. I'd love any corrections or further information anyone could offer.

Here's a close-up of the Starburst & Diamond pattern. Note that there is no other markings other than the pattern.
