firefighter Posted May 24, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2017 Theater made, but which one? I always thought Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted May 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2017 Nice looking CIB, Firefighter! As for being theater-made I would rule out Vietnam: I've never seen a documented die struck one from that Country. They are, invariably, sand cast as you know. Plus the overall quality of your CIB is far better than then junk produced in Vietnam. Let's see what other people with more expertise -- such as rd12 -- think of this CIB's origins. Still, that is really a nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted June 9, 2017 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2017 Nice looking badge, looks to retain much of the plating and blue paint is intact. Cobra6 is right, looks too well made to be Vietnamese. I would say it is Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASEUSA11B Posted June 10, 2017 Share #5 Posted June 10, 2017 Looks Japanese to me with the long pins. Very similar to the NIBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
