Silver-tone, eagle-top shield measures 3 ½ inches from top to bottom. Hallmarked Blackinton.
Here's the info on the original Alaska (AHTNA) Pipeline Security badges: "These badges were used by almost all Alaska State Troopers who at one point, left their jobs and took on employment as armed guards for the Alaska Pipeline (because their pay essentially doubled. During that time, many Alaskans, including the Ahtna people of the Copper River country, had hopes of becoming partners with the immensely wealthy and powerful oil industry. Ahtna Inc., which is/was a Native regional corporation and one of only three owning land the trans-Alaska pipeline crossed, created this land, air (helicopters) and sea Security Department (I have even found some older photos of the guards carrying AR-15's along remote areas of the pipeline during the heightened security needs due to the Gulf War). You can read more about it in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Alaska_Pipeline_System)."
