Pair of metal rank with early pin back fastening, not clutch back.

American Officers full size Captains rank insignia.

This is the early war style or sometimes called the British made style as it has a pin back fastening.

The pin back fastening is ideal to wear on the shoulders of the A class dress tunic as the end of the epaulettes are usually sewn down making the fabric 2 or 3 layers so the standard clutch back fastening rank badges will not go through that many layers of fabric. The pin back fastening simply pins through like a safety pin.

The rank can also be worn on the Officers shirts and Garrison caps. In World War Two they where worn by the USAAF and the Army.

Silver coloured metal Officers rank insignia.

Sold as a pair (two badges).
