roadrunner Posted May 19, 2010 Share #728 Posted May 19, 2010 Hello "craig-pickrall" I think your CIB 4th award is no original, it looks like the stars added later. What are the other usmf-member thinking about this item? Here is some information. Army Regulation AR 672-5-2 Oktober 1961 and MIL-DTL-3628/24H, 15 November 1996 Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfields Posted August 19, 2010 Share #736 Posted August 19, 2010 Here is the Meyer CIB I received in a small grouping from a guy who served with the IOWA State Guard. It's a clutchback with the shorter pins. What is interesting is it has an attached rifle. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted October 8, 2010 Share #744 Posted October 8, 2010 Hello Here is a CIB handembroidered. Any idea of time frame it was worn and where it was made? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkolpek Posted October 15, 2010 Share #745 Posted October 15, 2010 Jim,Looking at your CIB and the marks on the back makes me think that there was a maker's mark that someone has ground off. It is probably a post-WWII marking but the seller wanted to sell it as a WWII example. Allan I would say it is more likely it was scratched to be tested to be sure it was sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbysdad Posted December 18, 2010 Share #746 Posted December 18, 2010 I have a CIB that is marked sterling and is a pinback made of at least three parts.I want to post my photos but my pictures are to large. Please help!!! I think this one is unique to say the least. I would like to show you folks and discuss this badge. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelicHunter99 Posted December 20, 2010 Share #747 Posted December 20, 2010 My grandfather has a two piece CIB, with the wreath attaching to the musket via its pins. Did they issue these this way, or was the only way to obtain this by first getting the EIB and then earning the wreath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted December 22, 2010 Share #748 Posted December 22, 2010 O.K., after going through every post on this 38 page thread, I still have not answered my questions. Got close a couple of times, but no cigar. Attached are pics from my collection of full size and miniature size CIB's. First questions--both of the wreaths have acorns on them. Most CIB's shown on this thread do not have the acorns. The post #533 showed a drawing from a reg dated 1945 of the CIB with the acorns on the wreath. Was there a certain window of time that the wreaths had acorns on them? If so, when? Next, the musket on the full size CIB is attached. Is this typical only of GEMSCO or did others do it also? Lastly, do these look legit? 38 pages, but what a great resource!! Thanks and Merry Christmas, Al Hirschler in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
