Pair of Civil Defence 'CD' Enamel Lapel Badges

A large number of manufacturers made enamel badges to show people were doing their bit for the war effort when out of uniform. There are hundreds of various ARP and CD badges in existence (some made in silver). The below pair are interesting in that the pin fastening is not all that common on these badges. The vast majority are the lapel fitting (often ascribed as the male version). No maker mark on either of these badges.
