What kind of pin is this?

[garysinthehouse]

HI! I found this pin here in Melbourne Florida, at one of the local parks. the picture is not too good, but the inscptions says..."expeditigns"....yes with a "G". its not even a word...lol. The picture looks like mongolian soldiers, one carrying a rifle. Any help would be great..

Thanks, Gary

Do you have a flatbed scanner? Or better pics...I am sure someone can tell by the colors alone if it is millitary...

Looks like a old Navy Expeditionary Medal in a pin form.

It does resemble that. Heres a clearer picture, best i can get it. Wounder if its worth anything? or how old it is? a few bullets were found near it also.

That is what it is alright...I can see Expedition on it...

I never have seen any medal made in to that type of pin. Does the back have any markings?

Definatly a navy exp. medal. That is a pin we vets wear on our hats.I am American legion member and wear 6 of those on my hat,most of us do.

They can be ordered seperatly when you buy military ribbons or metals.John....................
