Greek badge - date?
 
Hello,

I have this badge. I know that the design was used in the Korea (see the photo) but I am unsure if it was also used earlier - WWII perhaps?

Could anyone tell me when this badge dates from?

...and in Korea:

Commander of the Greek Battalion poses for a Life photographer, displaying the badge on his US pile cap.

Hopefully the pics have worked.

Hi BP, Here is a badge from WW2, not quite the same as yours pictured.
Cheers, Tinto

Thanks! That's excellent - could you tell me how it fastens to the rear? Does it use pins too?

Can anyone supply a rough period of production for mine then?

All the best,
BP

Hi BP, My badge is cast, has 2 lugs at rear.
Sorry, I do not know much else about it.
Cheers, Tinto
