Here are a pair if CIB's offered in a current lot. The detail is bad. No flntlocks , No triggers. Listed with Vietnam era items. Backs marked " E P G I "

 

Did the quality of this company's product just suck or what.

I dont think its just this specific maker the quality of these CIBs dropped dramatically over time. The WW2 are much better made when compared to the VN ones

These are post Vietnam. This lot was produced in a large quantity, and they all seem to appear as yours. Too much enamel was used and covered up the flintlock and trigger guard.

I have a picture of one still on the gov't contract card showing the contract date, I just can't find it right now. Use the search feature and you will see others posted.

What I don't know is if they were accepted by the gov't, or if they were rejected and then sold on surplus market...

I also think that EPGI is mark of Ed Piera, Inc but haven't been able to verify.
