A five-pointed hat star with T-E-X-A-S in the points and a straight fouled anchor in the center. Above the anchor is "MARINE" and below the anchor is "CORPS." Die-struck and made of copper.
This piece is missing the five-pointed star above the anchor.
Context
Texas' Lone Star identity was formed during the Texas Revolution. This hat star was made to be worn by an enlisted Texas Marine, and believed to have been manufactured of scrap copper pieces used to sheath the Texas Navy ships in the Algiers Shipyard, New Orleans, Louisiana.
