mdk0911 Posted November 15, 2019 #1 Posted November 15, 2019 I like the way this looks but would like other opinions please thx!!
skypilot6670 Posted November 15, 2019 #4 Posted November 15, 2019 I’ll qualify this by saying I know nothing about bullion insignia. I like the front but have never seen one with the metal loops or rings. My impression is KurtA is correct it’s a repro. Mike
daniel griffin Posted November 15, 2019 #5 Posted November 15, 2019 Most certainly a well made reproduction.
mdk0911 Posted November 16, 2019 Author #6 Posted November 16, 2019 thx all - the loops I wasn't sure
Steve Rogers Posted November 19, 2019 #7 Posted November 19, 2019 Loops per se are not disqualifying. Metal backed insignia, that it is: bullion badges like this wit a tinned iron plate inside to stiffen it, usually had loops, but they were smaller and brass. These look like someone used loops from a catridge box plate as a pattern. There are issues with the fabric on the back, etc., as well.
