Hello,

Picked this up today in a local little junk shop, this is the second I have found with the clutch backs broken off, must have been a manufacturing problem....post-161684-14554950988406.jpg

I agree with Leigh, nice add to your collection!

 

These were not authorized insignia, so may not have been made to the full specs of GI insignia.

I would need to see the back, but my first thought is that your badge is Japanese made. Due to nature of combat in Korea many artilleryman found themselves on the front lines and since they were not authorized CIBs this "combat artillery badge" was popular. Nice badge, fairly hard to find.
