pfrost Posted January 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 11, 2018 That looks Okto me. I have seen this pattern in clutch back and those are the "earlier" type clutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17Guy Posted January 11, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 11, 2018 Nothing wrong with that wing. That type of clutch first made it's appearance in 1923 and was used till the 1940's. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted January 11, 2018 thank you guys. being Amcraft, I wondered which one was the earliest. I thought pin backs were first produced then clutch back in an attempt to save time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsparks Posted January 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2018 We now call them “dammits” universally.... and that style has resurfaced. You see them on the back of CSIBs (combat service identification badges) which are the giant pin-on Combat Patches worm on the current Dress Blue uniform (Service Dress Uniform, correctly, IIRC) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
