John All WW2 vets received them. Was trying to explain what it was! Sorry to imply it was only a Marine thing. Most people alive have never seen or heard of the Ruptured Duck pin. Only the vets that got them called them that. Most people would call them an Eagle pin not knowing anything about it, and because Kurt is trying to list it to sell I thought he should know as much as possible. I wish you had told him.
