johnny12550 Posted December 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2018 Hi, What do you think of this badge? Ive not seen one like it. Its on a Korean War uniform, but it looks to be brass with a silver wash. Back is clutch back with no markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted December 15, 2018 Looking at it, it could also be silver with a tarnish that makes it look like it could be a brass base, but there are no sterling or silver marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted December 15, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 15, 2018 Curious what the back of badge looks like and the pin. Not uncommon to see Japanese made or Korean made examples...meaning they had theatre made examples no different than jump wings,CIBs,DIs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted December 15, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 15, 2018 I like it. Additional that it's a theater made on a period jacket. Any decent shoulder patches on the uni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted December 15, 2018 It has an 8th Army Bullion patch on the left sleeve. Domed medical collar discs and the 48 to 51 chevrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted December 15, 2018 I would like to find a nice set of medical DIs for a unit assigned to the 8th army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
