WW2 ribbon attachment?
Back when I was serving in Uncle Sam's navy, service ribbons were attached to our uniforms by means of little round brass doodads called "clutches" that slid over the backs of pins.
I'd like to obtain period-correct examples of the ribbons my father earned during his time in service. What I'm finding for sale are ribbons with both the pin and clutch style attachment, as well as others with a sort of safety pin style arrangement on the back.
I'd like to find out what was the norm in the 1942-1945 time period. Does anyone here know?
Thanks.
