I don't think it's a president's badge, since it's too small (or, at least much smaller than the president's badge I remember). I've never seen one with emeralds or that kind of engraving either--so one of three things pops in my mind:
1) It's fake (but highly likely to be as I've held up my badge and the detailing is incorrect).
2) It's REALLY OLD (which would be why there's no chapter or date of initiation on the back)
3) The chapter somehow had them engraved differently, or this woman had hers engraved separately from DG.
ETA: I looked more carefully at my badge and saw the differences--especially the fact that the Delta and Gamma are elongated. I would think that someone had a necklace made to look like their pin. Also, if you notice, there's no marking to see if the gold is, in fact, real (like our badges have)--this could be a piece of costume jewelry made to look like our DG badge. Has anyone asked EO to check this out???
But 445 is way too much--can't afford that! I just hope the high bidder is a DG.
