ron_brock Posted April 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2014 I picked this up a show recently. If it's not US, I apologize in advance, but I swear I had seen similar badges at some point. Hoping someone can point me to an identification. The man who had it in his collection passed onto the big militaria show in the sky and the dealer I got it from was selling for his widow. He seemed to believe this was pretty scarce, but neither he nor I could ID it. My curiosity forced me to buy it Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just came across a pair of these for the first time today, and couldn't find any others online. I'm not sure if the other related top bars will aid in identifying what these are. Hopefully reviving this thread will get some fresh eyeballs on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted June 9, 2023 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2023 SMG = Sub Machine Gun There is an article in The Trading Post about SMG badges in the CBI 1944 and they have elaborate SMG bars, NOT like the those in this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're telling me what these aren't? Or did I misunderstand your reply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted June 10, 2023 Share #6 Posted June 10, 2023 Based on the article, these are sub machine gun expert, but yours are a different style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplecanopy Posted June 10, 2023 Share #7 Posted June 10, 2023 Could these be law enforcement badges? They don't look like Army or Marine marksmanship awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to shoot civilian/police matches at Camp Perry Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
