Vintage Junior Winchester Rifle Corps badge featuring a classic crossed-rifles design within a wreath and radiating sunburst background. This early youth marksmanship badge was part of the Junior Rifle Corps program associated with Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which encouraged safe shooting and marksmanship training in the early 20th century.
The reverse is stamped “PANIKOFF MFG CO – NEW HAVEN CT”, identifying the maker as Panikoff Manufacturing Company, a known producer of fraternal and award insignia during the early-to-mid 1900s.
The pin retains its original early C-clasp, a style commonly used before the widespread adoption of safety clasps in the 1930s, helping place this piece approximately in the 1915–1930 era.
Material: Brass / gilt tone metal
Condition: Vintage condition with natural age patina; see photos for details
A great piece of early shooting sports history and an appealing collectible for Winchester memorabilia collectors, firearms history enthusiasts, or vintage badge collectors.
