Found in a box of Misc military, Copper, Brass or Bronze CIB?

[USMC-RECON0321]

As stated in the title, never seen one of these before, appears to be copper, but I guess it could be bronze or brass. Any ideas? No markings.

We have a thread at http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/379-the-combat-infantryman-badge/page-41 which shows a similar bronze CIB. Someone said they were made in Japan and originally had a silver wash.

Nice thread, wow 72 pages! Anyway I think that explains it. I would say Japan made.

Thank you

could be British made.

 

They did a stamped version and had a pin back.The enamel work was similar as well on Brit made ones

Interesting. The enamel on these looks sloppy around the bottom edge.
