It's only an educated "guesstimate" Holtie, but it appears circa 1950s to me mate.

Going by the style and the rear.

I would have thought late 50's early 60's with that style fitting.

WO Lewis are still going, could always drop them a note.

Yes it's possible early 1960s, although it'd likely have a pin rear if it were.
Not that it's set in stone mind you, I have 60s buttonholes myself, but it's overall style points to the mid-to-late 50s for me. Hence an educated guess.

It's almost certainly not any earlier than 50s.

Lovely badge btw Holtie, super condition.
