Description
This is a Rare & Unusual WWII British Made USAAF Bullion Caterpillar Club Badge. These are quite rare, as I have only had one other. But the other was closer in design to the Switlik pin, whereas this seems to be a combination of the both the Switlik, with CATERPILLAR CLUB fully spelled out on it, and the Irvin, with the 2 red "eyes". A very cool, and very rare, insignia.
