Hey thanks wptw, we know we can always count on you for some solid info.

After I posted my original reply, I went back and looked at the badge again. I'm no pin expert, but I realized that it didn't seem like something from the 1920's and I had a feeling it was more like late 1800's. That scenario made more sense to me.

Interesting topic!
