If my memory serves me right, I had a similar specimen that came with a post-WWII certificate for a well known RSI vet. That too had a number punched on the reverse, but I can’t remember whether it matched any number printed on thesheet. May I suggest that this badge might a commemorative veterans badge.
Anyway, note the vertical , squared pin fastening vs the round, horizontal one. As a rule these badges were neither “RSI” marked nor serial numbered.
