Very nice. I've seen that style insignia as a shoulder loop attachment, but never as a pin for the pocket area. (Nothing like having a photo to prove how/where it was worn!)

Sweet group.I've seen that pinback badge but the one I saw looked different in the way it was made.Yours appears to be theatre made and is a great piece.

Great grouping! It proves what I've been arguing for a while now; that the British-made correspondent pinbacks were indeed worn in the PTO!

It could be Australian.

Yeah, maybe. But I've heard people arguing that no Commonwealth insignia was used by US correspondents in the PTO as few photos support they're use, even though I have at least one photo of such pinbacks being worn.

I got tired of the argument as I know they were worn there.

With correspondent stuff, it was a case of using anything you could due to how tough it was to find the stuff in a war zone.
