I'm not an expert on maker marks. But it looks Vietnam era to me.They started using the shiny stuff later on. So this one would be for WW2, Korea, & Vietnam.

1/20 SF content dates this badge to pre-1975. Around 1975 US government dropped the 1/20 SF requirement in favor of cheaper alloys.

Also, the use of STERLING was phased out between 1967-69. So you've got a solid 1969-1975 period CIB. And yes, SIMCO was used by the E.H. SIMON Co. Nice badge!
