I owned one of the SS pins back in the mid-late 70s. Bought it out of some catalog and probably only paid about the, before mentioned, $7.00 or so. I wore it on a cap and it really was a "door-opener" for me. I delivered domestic fuel oil(my family owned a small local business) and collectors would notice it we would start a dialogue about collecting. I even got some interesting "real" blades because of that pin. Unfortunately, I lost the cap and the pin went with t. It WAS nicely made...But not original 3R ! Peace,Mark
