The biggest tipoff of a pin or badge not being vintage is the method by which the pin is attached to the back. Most recent badges have the pin going through an oval plate which is attached to the back. There's also usually an extra curl on the pin wire to protect against the point. Most vintage pins and badges have the pin soldered directly to the back with the point exposed (no protection).
