Ah ha, that's much better. O-1 is the 1954-65 code for Orber, Orber Manufacturing Co., Pawtucket, RI.

33rd Armored Regiment. Most likely post-WWII. The earlier 33rd DUIs have a different shape, and don't have all the extra curlicue embellishments.

 

Most of the 33rd DUIs with the extra embellishments are German-made Cold War era. I do have a couple of I-O marked with the checkerboard back, but they are clutchback, not pinback.

 

Nice find! Now I have one more to look for!

Thanks a lot.

 

It is the presence of the pin who asked me the problem
