WW2 US USN Navy Reserve Honorable Discharge Pin

The WW2 US USN Navy Reserve Honorable Discharge Pin is an authentic military insignia issued to members of the United States Navy Reserve who were honorably discharged during or after World War II. The design typically features a small gilt metal pin in the form of an eagle perched atop a shield, with an anchor motif, symbolizing naval service. These pins were presented to servicemen and servicewomen as official recognition of honorable service and discharge from the U.S. Navy Reserve. The pin measures approximately 7/8 inch in height and is equipped with a clutch-back or screw-back attachment for wear on civilian clothing. Such insignia served both as an award and as an identifier in postwar society, distinguishing veterans who had completed their service with honor. This type of pin is valued by collectors for its historical significance and as a representation of service in the U.S. Navy Reserve during the Second World War.
