WWII Plastic Enlisted Dress Cap Badge - Original - Metal Plating Missing

Description

This WWII Enlistedman's Visor Cap Badge was made of plastic to conserve brass for wartime munitions.
It was not successful, as the metallic plating did not properly bind, and regularly flaked off.
Most of these were thrown away, and it is very rare to find one today.
All the metal plating has come off this example.  It retains the screwpost and two prongs to hold it in place on the cap.
