Hi, the second badge is not a pathfinder badge. I think I'm correct in saying that there was an official issued pathfinder badge, with a pin back but I've never actually seen one in the flesh. As Home Guard states, just the eagle badge with no crown or tablet below. There is some discussion on this badge elsewhere on the forum and consensus seems to be that other eagles (with screw fasteners & wires) were also worn on uniform by those entitled to wear them. Yours, I think, is a copy of a badge that may have been an early women's hat badge - but not much is known about it.
Regards, Craig
