rd12 Posted March 19, 2020 Share #1951 Posted March 19, 2020 And finally a bullion badge. I thought it was on a black backing, but when I received it you can see it is on dark blue backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted March 27, 2020 Share #1952 Posted March 27, 2020 Just added this tiny lapel CIB to the collection. It has very good detail to be so small. It does have a nut for the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted March 28, 2020 Share #1953 Posted March 28, 2020 Very cool, that is about as small as I’ve seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted March 28, 2020 Share #1954 Posted March 28, 2020 That is small, you know what they say, it's not the sz that matters. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted May 2, 2020 Share #1966 Posted May 2, 2020 The bullion is on dark brown. Japanese or Korean work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess Japanese based on the pattern of the rifle, but I've never seen a wreath pattern like that before. Not sure I've seen a definitively Korean made bullion CIB before, so tough to know for sure. My vote is Japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have one from J.J. B'Ham that is OK. Then I have this one. I believe it's British, but unmarked. It is in my opinion nicer than either of the other two. What is your opinion of it? Brit?

Jim Baker Posted May 22, 2020 Share #1974 Posted May 22, 2020 Is there a website or FB page that might help me identify the period my CIB's were produced? I'm looking to thin out a few areas of my collection and would like to keep only the CIB's from the WWII and Korean War era. I am aware there are books out there, but I don't think buying a book would be worthwhile since I don't really intend to buy anything more in the future. Thanks for any assistance with this, it is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted June 17, 2020 Share #1975 Posted June 17, 2020 I found two more examples of CIBs with unit insignia attached. The crest on top is still unknown to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
