Exactly why the back of the badge/pin is just as important as the front, and why the original engraving should be maintained whenever possible, IMO. What stories are told by the backs of our jewelry!

Perhaps the name on the back was not the original owner - and the person had the other name buffed out and hers added. We shall never know.
