It is in excellent vintage condition as you can see from the many enlarged photographs. The rollover clasp on the back works just fine. The gold tone brass wire feet are nice and secure. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.

This would make a fantastic gift for any naturalist, animal lover or someone who cares about wildlife. If you know a duck hunter, this would be perfect pinned to the brim of a hat or on a jacket lapel. It is a one of a kind pin that is sure to be a conversation starter.
