    The Son/daughter in service pins generally have blue enamel on them somewhere with the star over it.

    They have a red border, white background and a star for each person in service.
    I have a few, up to and including, 4 stars. I may have one that's 5.
    If there are gold star ⭐️ ones :(
    I've never seen one.

    Gold star pins are a whole different ballgame. Those have the blue background, I think.... I have one hiding here somewhere if I weren't too lazy to go look and check it. I can't sell it. It would be like hawking a purple heart.

    I have one of the son in service pins too. Along with another one with an eagle. It's made by Coro and sterling.

    This is what I stared with:

    I'm selling all of it. I had the whole batch on eBay but took it down when I found out about the first pin. I'll probably put what's left back on tomorrow.

    As a group or individually?
    And where?

    It will be on eBay. But you can make an offer on pieces that you want.

    I should have said you can make offers now if you're interested. You don't need to wait until they're on eBay.
