This elegant mid century style handcrafted metal pin is shaped like a shield. There are notches along most of the edge, a textured background with 2 shiny stripes curved around to form a shape like a "9". At the end on one strip, in the center of the pin is a small bezel set blue glass rhinestone.  The piece is unmarked, and I have no idea what the metal is or if there is any silver content. It measures 1 inch across at the widest point and 1 1/2 inches long. The clasp, including the clever safety catch is entirely handmade. There are several imperfections - a tiny nick on the top shiny strip at the  center of the piece, and another on the inner strip near the bottom. There's also a small dull spot in the space between the 2 shiny strips near the center.
