Centered on the parachute canopy is a single bronze combat jump star, which signifies the original wearer’s participation in one combat airborne operation. The reverse of the badge features a horizontal pin-back assembly with a rotating locking safety clasp, a construction style prevalent during the 1940s. The reverse is struck with the mark STERLING below the pin. There are no additional manufacturer hallmarks present.
