USMC-RECON0321 Posted March 12, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted March 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
