Tonomachi Posted March 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2017 I found this US Public Health Service badge at the flea market which is sterling and made by Blackington. This is a full size badge yet no screw back. Is this a cap badge or maybe a sweetheart piece due to the vertical pin back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted March 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2017 It is for a female USPHS beret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Thompson Posted March 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 21, 2017 Kurt is correct. This badge is specifically for the Cadet Nurse Corps of the USPHS. It was pinned to either their beret or dress hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted March 21, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 21, 2017 Way Cool! I picked one up a few years ago just like it. I didn't know it was for the Cadet Nurse Corps. Thanks for the great info! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted March 21, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 21, 2017 Blackington must have produced a huge quantity of these, as they turn up quite regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
