8th Army DI

I was wondering if any one has come across a screwback 8th Army patch type DI.

I have two that are pinback.  One of which is foreign made.

Thanks,

Pat

Have any pics ? It sounds like the one you are describing as screwback is likely Asian made. I’ve had a few like that before

I bought it on ebay.  It was listed under Jewelry & Watches Pins and Brooches. Waiting

for delivery.  I will then add a photo.

Here are the photos.  My original question was, did this 8th Army DI come in screwback?

I guess that's a silly question.  The one I have is a screwback.  Also, could it be foreign made? 

It appears to be quite thin.  Again, sorry for the delay. Thanks for any input

It’s Japanese made, they did make Pinback US version. But this is certainly Japanese

Thank you Wake1941 for the info.  Like I've said before, you never know where your going to find DIs.

Found this on ebay under Vintage and Antique Jewelry, Pins and Brooches.  This one gives me three

nice variations.  Thanks again, have a great weekend.
