It is in fair condition. There are two missing elements including the hook where the sharp needle of the pin can attach as well as a green and gold ribbon (only a 1.125in. fragment remains). The back of the pin has large corrosion spots. There is also corrosion on the bottom rim of the pin as well as on the sharp needle of the pin. The "W and M" are smudged and partially erased.
