Featured Trojan Brass Military GI Pin

I've been playing with this in my grandmother's jewelery my entire life, although she passed away before I ever garnered a curiosity about it. Pardon me if this is not the correct thread, but the only thing I have found regarding the same pin was an eBay listing that was titled "Trojan Brass Military KREW G-I Double Tack Antique Roman Head VTG PIN" so that's all I have to go off, as the person who sold it didn't know anything about it either according to their description. Both of my grandparents were in the military, so perhaps it was one of theirs? My grandmother was WAAC and I know my grandfather was army(he passed away 20+ years before I was born, not much known), so I would just like to know if it was likely that either one wore it or if it was just something they picked up somewhere. Sorry if I'm breaking any rules, I'm new! I apologize for the blurry pictures of the back, I can see GI but I can't make out the other marking. Thanks for any and all info!

 

It is WWII era WAC insignia

 

Found this based on what Terry said.

Yours is in better shape!

 

Neat! I suppose that confirms my grandmother wore it during her service, thanks so much for your responses, everyone!

 

Anytime...
Also, hola, and welcome to the Forums!

Going by the very elaborately decorated helmet & the 3-strand necklace, I'm guessing this is Athena, who can look quite masculine & would be more appropriate for a women's corps.

Why do people always say 'Trojan'? The Trojans lost the war. Surely a Greek would be more inspiring.

 

Clean that green stuff off before it does further damage.

 

The OP hasn't been here in over 2 years,old thread.

 

Ah geez. I need to pay more attention.
