I know that I am a little late in replying to this thread, but its the first time that I have read it. The above post which stated that the brass/copper H&S are replacements for lost gold ones is correct. For some reason, the H&S were prone to fall off. I have seen multiple awards with this repair and all of the brass H&S has two long prongs that are pulled threw the holes in the enamel and then pushed back (as pictured in an earlier post). I have even seen several pictures of soldiers wearing their OGPWs missing the H&S.
