VINTAGE Sigma Chi fraternity 10K gold member pin badge, 1948 Purdue, rubies OLD

Description

Up for bid is a killer vintage pin from the
Sigma Chi
fraternity, which has seed pearls and stones that are dark pink or purple on the front side.  Not sure what those stones are, initially thought they were rubies but they're definitely closer to purple than red.  Back side has the Delta Delta chapter letters (Purdue University), a man's name and the year
1948
all engraved.  I also see an LGB hallmark.  Pin is not marked for content but acid tests to be
10K gold
.  This in excellent condition, with no damage or wear or missing stones.  And this is a
full-sized
badge, not a smaller sweetheart version which you see more often with stones.  It has a working clasp, measures 11/16" tall and weighs
4.07 grams
.
A very nice addition to your Sig or vintage fraternity / sorority collection!  Please email with any questions and thanks for looking!!!
