Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 19, 2018 Share #1879 Posted October 19, 2018 You nailed it, Bill! Even without the hallmark and the 925 we can tell it is made in Germany ... those detailed veined leaves are classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1880 Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks cobra, makes me feel better, also picked this up today with the assman. I like this one better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1881 Posted October 20, 2018 Whoa, that is nice! I have never seen a pinback unit crest on a CIB. The ones I have seen are all screwbacks. Good score again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1882 Posted October 20, 2018 I wanted to look closer at it, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it back on. Its very tight. Looks Italian made Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1885 Posted October 20, 2018 Bill, here are three I have been able to find with the Division pin attached. My thought has been that this was something done after the war to show what unit you served in or for reunions. I have seen a few other 1st ID examples. No others for 10th MTN or 36th ID. Yours is the first time I have seen 34th ID as well. Note the similar pin-back on my 36th and your 34th. -Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1886 Posted October 20, 2018 Here are the backs... Also, like Cobra 6 pointed out, the other 1st ID examples I have seen have all been screwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted October 20, 2018 Share #1887 Posted October 20, 2018 I love that 36th and the pin looks like the same. I think the pins are theater made in Italy. The pin fasnter looks like some DUIs I have that are Italian made. I have a 27th I'd uniform that has a screwback on it. Only one I've seen on a uniform.

rd12 Posted October 29, 2018 Share #1888 Posted October 29, 2018 Here's a interesting one. This isn't mine but I pulled the pictures from eBay. It is in rough shape, but I haven't seen a CIB/ribbon rack before with snaps on the back for attachment. I assume this would be so you could remove the badge/ribbons in order to clean the jacket.

jmd62 Posted November 26, 2018 Share #1890 Posted November 26, 2018 Hello guys, I received a WWII Ike this past week and temporarily removed its CIB for photos then returned it to it's original position. I hope you like it. Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted December 11, 2018 Share #1892 Posted December 11, 2018 Here is an interesting EIB that was on eBay - the reason I post it here is that one would think if this particular company made an EIB they would have also made a CIB - has anyone seen a CIB in this style? I'm stumped as to where this was made, I've not seen a textured back like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stumped as to where this was made, I've not seen a textured back like this before. I wondering if this was actually a badge due to it's large size. I can't remember the exact dimensions, but it seems like it was over 4" in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KASTAUFFER Posted December 16, 2018 Share #1898 Posted December 16, 2018 This grouping represents the service of the ONLY USMA Graduate who was a POW prior to graduating from West Point. During WWII he was an enlisted man serving with the "Golden Lions" , the 422nd Infantry , 106th Infantry Division who was captured during the Battle of the Bulge. The most interesting piece is his USMA Cadet robe which he put a number of pieces of his insignia on. The CIB is ususual because the background is USAF blue, since that was his branch of service after he graduated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
