Default Tank Corps sweetheart brooch

Here's my latest find. Most likely an American one.
It's a cutie and the designer clearly has never seen a tank but someone had described it to them in great detail Sterling silver but gold-plated.
It's also tiny – only 22mm or 7/8" long.
cheers!

Here's a couple of new Tank Corps sweetheart badges I've recently acquired.

Mick,
These are nice! I have the top one but it was missing the fastener on the back. Mind taking a picture of the back? just curious. I soldered the modern lapel pin stud and clip, a pair of them. Don't know the official name.
