ARTIFACT: This is an unidentified ca 1963 "bailout" pin made in Britain. The pin is triangular in a beautiful red enamel basketweave pattern and shows a parachute at center under the letters MBA. Possibly for a Military Parachutists Association, or an association of those who have had to "Bail Out" of an aircraft using a parachute.
