Teamski Posted August 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 29, 2008 Unfortunately, it looks like a Pakistani-made copy to me. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hochiminhtrail Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted August 29, 2008 well it comes from australia and was picked up 25 years ago. so i have no other clues. and old it is, maybe it was made in pakistan 30 years ago ???

Alex Quite possible. Pakistan has made bullion repros since before I started collecting in 1980. I'm sure some others will add their opinions on this one as well. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted August 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2008 I agree with Ski, it was my first thought too. Could we see a pic from the back? Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted August 29, 2008 Share #6 Posted August 29, 2008 Bear in mind that bullion insignia was a popular pick up for marines stationed in Japan, China, and on a limited basis Korea. Could be from one of those places as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted August 30, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 30, 2008 It's a fake "collector" patch. These have been around for a long time. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
