Pin and clutch back badges

[Iain2]

Can anyone tell me when the collar and titles with pin and clutch clip came out, was it a 90's thing or earlier.

They came in with the introduction of FAD so 2009/10.

Thank you Andy, thought they where earlier than that.

You did get s/ts with clutch pins in the 1970s and 80s but it was the introduction of the new FAD tunic that saw collars changed from lugs to pins.

It corresponded with the idea of increased cross cap badge postings so tunics could be re-used.
