BILL THE PATCH Posted October 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2016 This came off a ww2 uniform I thought it was put on by someone, I showed a picture of it to a friend of mine he thinks it might be german made. But I would like a second opinion. To me it looks like it from around the 80's possibley 90's. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted October 25, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2016 I don't think German, I'm leaning to post-war British. Enamel looks British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadet Posted October 26, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 26, 2016 My vote is WWII Brit made. Here is a link to a similar example, although the area behind the rifle is hollow: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/197831-2-oddball-cibs-theatre-made/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfacedsoldier Posted February 7, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 7, 2017 I believe it is an unmarked Japanese CIB. I have several of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted February 7, 2017 The CIB came off a 104th div Ike. So I don't thing Japanese made. Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted February 7, 2017 Share #9 Posted February 7, 2017 Well shoot I guess I have two Brit made CIB's!!!! I always thought they were US made but not out of Sterling. I must have missed these in the CIB book? I own it. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted February 7, 2017 The one on the book is a pinback, but the enamel is the same. These are Brit made but immediate post war, Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted February 7, 2017 Share #13 Posted February 7, 2017 I have one pinback and one clutchback. BROBS, could you post front & back pics of your pinback? Style of pinback will give some good clues as to origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted February 8, 2017 Share #14 Posted February 8, 2017 I'll try to get some pics.. pinback is US style IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
