Hello Kappas,
I'm very much a lurker, not an active poster. I'm an Alpha Gam at that so I apologize for intruding on your forum. I surf eBay a lot looking at antique jewelry and ran up on this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-Gold-Kappa-...QQcmdZViewItem
. It certainly looks authentic, and if this were an Alpha Gam item I'd give a LOT for it. It looks like it could be a priceless piece of history for you. Just thought I'd point it out--I certainly hope a Kappa gets it. I'm not the seller or affiliated with them in any way. I'd just hate to see a piece of history like this in the wrong hands.
If the link doesn't work it's Item #270192458924, "
1909 Gold Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Pin w/Paper".
