Default Collar or Sweetheart or converted

Hello All,

I have attached a couple of pictures that I need your opinions on. I think a couple might be collars converted, however I not so certain. Any help would be great.

Chris

The 202nd looks like a sweetheart, the others look like collars

Thank you Mike. I am not overly surprised but had kind of hoped I had come up with an officer collar.

Agree with Mike. It is one of these weird collectors' ideas (and dealers) that pin backs somehow, are all officers' badges. The pin backs caused less damage to the uniform, especially when being removed for cleaning.

Hello Mike and Bill

I really did have every expectation that the 202 was a sweetheart; like I said was hoping. I am of similar opinion that a pin back is more often not a collar, however since most officer's uniform and accessories were purchased by the individual it does leave a question mark occasionally. I will file the 202 under sweetheart until it can be substantiated otherwise.
