I picked this set up at the Raleigh show this past weekend. I believe these to have been altered in theater. Marked sterling on the back. Has anyone seen a set like this before?

I have seen other wings with applied letters similar to this.  I think they are interesting and maybe a reunion wing or something along those lines.

A CBI veteran once told me that CBI stood for Confusion Beyond Imagination. I would guess that the letters on the wing date back to something done during the war.
