rd12 Posted February 27, 2018 Share #1756 Posted February 27, 2018 Here's what I picked up at SOS this year. There were quite a few CIBs for sale this year so I tried to just focus on finding some oddballs. The badge in the top right corner and the one in the bottom left are the two gems here. Top right is I believe an unauthorized "forward observer" badge from the Korean War. Bottom left is a two piece badge, heavy brass, and screw back. First two piece screw back I have ever seen. I think it is a German made EIB that had a wreath added. Hard to tell if the wreath is German made, but I don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted February 27, 2018 Share #1757 Posted February 27, 2018 Great finds, that forward observer one is really cool! Lot of interesting CIB's on this thread, especially love that bloody bucket one Bill! Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted February 27, 2018 Share #1759 Posted February 27, 2018 Yep, that UA Observer one is really nice, rd12. Ditto on the wristband. I have seen several of those that look like the holes for the chain were made by pounding a nail through. Your’s looks much more nicely done.

Cobra 6 Actual Posted March 6, 2018 Share #1765 Posted March 6, 2018 Hum, 40 cents for two subdued cloth CIBs ... not too bad a deal: These are approximately fifty years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivart Posted March 6, 2018 Share #1766 Posted March 6, 2018 Awesome to see cloth badges in the original packaging! Nice badges Cobra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted March 6, 2018 Share #1767 Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks, Sivart. My somewhat vague recollection is that I bought them at the Quartermaster Clothing Sales Store at Ft. Myer, VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Jack Posted March 7, 2018 Share #1769 Posted March 7, 2018 Alas, the four acorn variety. This remains one of my search projects. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted March 8, 2018 Share #1770 Posted March 8, 2018 Those four acorn GEMSCOs do turn up, Jack. Meanwhile, here is an N.S. Meyer 8th Award CIB with the stars in a pyramid (instead of in the correct arc shape): Since these were never issued, most people believe these were salesmen's samples.
