[pct-l] Found Locket in Golite Jacket

[Bill Burge]

It appears, from the photos, that it's the Great Seal of the US:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States

Which seems to have been popular of WWII remembrance lockets.

Are there any other markings on the locket?

Any writing on the back of the pictures?

Any marks on the jacket?
