US Marine Corps Pistol Sharpshooter Qualification Badge (Official Size)

$7.99

Officially licensed United States Marine Corps design. Solid metal construction. Brass clutch and post back.

Criteria: Marine Corps weapons qualification badges are obtained after obtaining a passing score, which fall into one of three ranges – 190 to 209 for Marksman, 210 to 219 for Sharpshooter, and 220 to 250 for Expert. Qualifying Marines receive a specific weapons qualification badge depending on the score obtained. Once earned, the qualification badge may be worn for the remainder of a military career, unless a different level of qualification is achieved. Typically, enlisted personnel up to the rank of staff sergeant, and officers up to the rank of captain, re-qualify with the rifle annually. If a Marine achieves the score of Expert multiple times in his or her career, an additional “rung” may be added to the badge to denote multiple awards. Marine Corps weapons qualification badges are hung beneath a bar indicating the type of weapon and qualification level earned. The suspended badge varies in appearance depending on which weapon qualification has been obtained. Marine recruits cannot exit Initial Recruit Training (or The Basic School for Officers) until a qualification of at least Marksman has been obtained.
