Civilian Defense Corps Pin Badges

Every unit of the OCD had a specific pin badge (civilian-dress lapel buttons) featuring the emblem of that service. The pin badges are very small, approximately half an inch in diameter. They usually feature either a brooch pin and clasp fitting or a screw post to the rear with a small disc that tightens the badge in place.

Some pin badges were made in sterling silver.

Do have a collection of Civilian Defense pin badges from WWII? If so, I’d be delighted to add them to this page. Send me a message via the Contact page.
