I have no love of HJGReek. I received my pin (plain one) when Balfour was our official jeweler and was told it was 14K. The next year, they started giving 10K with the initiation dues. I bought a beautiful pin on e-bay in spring with all pearls. It is small, and very old (around the early '30's). My badge backing with the open back are due any day now. Can't wait to see how they look with my antique pin. I did not want the one with the solid back as you have to send you badge to them so that they can fit the holes properly and I don't trust them to get my same badge back.
