Lapel Buttons vs. Pins

[GaryNH]

Can someone please tell me when the changeover from button to clutchback lapel pins occurred? I recently acquired an Air Force Cross and would like to find the correct pin for it.

 

Thanks!! Gary

If it helps any, I have a early (H.L.P. stamped) Air Force Cross set that has a buttonhole lapel pin.

Thanks, it does! Mine is an HLP also. Gary
