Pin back vs clutch back. When did one supersede the other? Important if you want to try and decide if the badge you’re considering buying is indeed WW2 period or later.
He’s a link to a site that attempts to explain and perhaps give some clarification to this question.

Interesting Mark, Thanks for the link!!! :thumbsup:

Fantastic link Mark and a great source of info. Added it to my favourites. Interestingly i do have quite a few clutch back badges and insignia which are attached to WW2 uniforms but date from around 42 to 43 and this link confirms that. :thumbsup:

I’m very pleased it is of some use to you Paul and indeed other members as a good reference source on the subject :smile:

Regards Mark.
