Hello all,

 

found this Hayward Sterling EOD Badge. Looks like one of the earlier versions of those badges. Still wonder where alphanumeric code and/or the GI marking are.

This is my Hayward Sterling Senior EOD badge.

I have no idea when it dates from/to.

I'm no expert, but from what I have seen of sterling badges not all have hallmarks on them, and some don't even have a makers name on them.

My guess would be mid to late 1960s.  There is an earlier pin back version of this badge in basic with the same hallmark (photo 1 & 2).  Since these badges were authorized in 1957 my guess is that the pin back version is from the late 1950s and early 1960s.   There is also a later produced badge with the added hallmark of G-I (Photos 3 & 4).  I believe this one was produced sometime after your badge.
