I agree that is also what they look like Crime but as s special occasion dress uniform item? That's why I never went down the route of something like that.

We might need another clue mate, before REFORM pulls all of his hair out in frustration that he can't use hes own PC to research them. hehe
Maybe it would help if we knew how big they were and how many are required.

1. Cuff-links.
2. False eyebrows for those who lost theirs in battle, or in some type of terrible shaving accident.

NoTheFrEnChGuY  comes to close to let it go any longer.

They are issued to:

The Old Guard
1st Battalion
3rd Infantry

They are the guards at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier or the Tomb of the Unknowns is a monument dedicated to U.S. service members who have died without their remains being identified. Having no officially designated name, it is located in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, United States of America.

I was wrong in telling you that the soldiers were Marines they can be from any branch of the service as I read the info.
I was honored to work with one of these retired soldiers and I had asked him how they made such a loud pop when they smacked their feet together.  He told me that these metal plates were mounted to the side of their shoe heels and that he would loosen the screws just a bit to make the smack louder.
