Description: You are bidding on an HONOR GUARD BADGE; TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER IDENTIFICATION BADGE in new, unissued condition in factory package. 3-clutch back fastening in oxidized silver finish. The badge itself is approximately two inches wide and 1 3/4 inches tall. The obverse design consists of an inverted wreath, a sign of mourning, and the East face of the Tomb which contains the figures of Peace, Valor and Victory. Superimposed on the bottom of the Tomb under the three figures are the words "Honor Guard". The badge was designed in 1956 and first issued to members of the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on February 7, 1958.
