Pin – “Balfour” U.S. Military Insignia

Shield-shaped metal and enamel pin featuring a gold anchor overlaid with an eagle in flight, both rendered in relief against a blue enamel background. The anchor symbolizes the U.S. Navy, while the eagle represents American air power and freedom. The combination of the two elements reflects the United States Army Air Forces and Naval Aviation collaboration during the Second World War. The pin has a gold border and clutch fastener on the reverse.
