Marksman Pin........

Circa 1885-1919-

[St. George]

Regular Army soldiers qualified for these, but in silver.

The gold was for the National Guard, because of their shorter, less demanding  Qualification Course.

Were a Guardsman to qualify on a RA range, firing the same Course of Fire, he qualified for the silver variant.

Often, early ones feature the date, and sometimes the name of the soldier.

Scouts Out!
