Any finds from our veterans is always good. I found the sterling silver Marksman piece at an old home site during the fall and the pistol ladder badge from the same ara about 2 years ago. Dman actually found the Soldier's dog tag and gave it to his local VFW in the hope that it could be returned to his family. Welcome to Tnet and HH, Quindy in Tennessee.

Cool find! It's actually made of 3 types of metal...silver, nickel and rhodium known as "white metal".

That is a "sharpshooters" badge... The three U.S. Army badges are: "Marksman" "Sharpshooter" and "Expert" (Mine are sterling also, maybe they changed the metal content after I got out of the service)

Hmm..I was the service as well and mine does not say Sterling on the back so I think you may be right about them changing the composition. I got out in 2004 just for a time frame reference, sorry if I caused any confusion, wish mine was Sterling! Furthermore, there may be different types out there. The non subdued version is nickel plated. I can see older ones having a higher silver content due to silver being less expensive than it is now. BTW, I like that hunter's button!
