While Im not a badge guy I couldnt pass these up on eBay from a friend on this forum. These came with several Recruiter Badges. Im familiar with the badge and the award criteria as an Army vet, but not as much with time period variations and different makers. Feel free to add you commentary, information and of course pics from your collections.
