Never seen that before
Hope that the link works:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393756855...sAAOSweuVhqegQ The 1916 triangular female badge is very familiar but look at the one in the dead centre. It has two brass attachments relating to the dates the munition worker served. I am assuming that this is a) A factory addition to the badge b) done after the conclusion of the war as a type of ‘tribute’ or c) simply made by the owner of the badge. Does anyone have any ideas.?

When Dumdum posted a photo of one last year I thought it was a locally modified badge with the additional date bars added post war . Other OWS badges had ribbons attached with 'date bars' or there was one (probably Ray's) that had a seperate 'date bar' that looped over the buttonhole fitting.

Hi Tim , here are a couple of quick 'edits' of the front and back views of the badge.

Thanks Mike, seems these bars are the same in both, with attachment holes, albeit Ray's look soldiers on, so maybe they were more common than I thought, just not coming up much (that I have seen)
thanks, Tim |

I wonder if they were both made in a specific city/region ? Like the 'enamelled' Coventry Ordnance Work badges these 'bars' could have been produced by a local jeweller/artisan for a few local workers.
