The second 60th Militia Battalion collar. I forgot I had this image.
One is in a lot better condition than the other.

After looking at the plating jobs in Lukes "Sweetheart" images I'm really not sure.
My sweethearts are chrome dipped the titles are just cheaply plated I will post some pics of them in wear

G'day Luke.
I believe this to be a "Sweetheart Badge" of a more commercial type.
The pin has been removed which is a shame.

So the Vietnam era titles still had the lug attachment and not US style pins.
They do look the same from your images mate. Thanks for that

Thanks mate, It's not a bad one at all. It's clean and tidy but sections of the liner are a bit stiff. I am working it with Renaissance Wax and it's coming up quite well.
The chin strap is a little short but it's not to brittle.
I'm happy with it mate.
