P16161 I've seen them on for sale in kiosks on post, the type that sells ball caps, novelty patches, keychains, and other themed souvenirs. These are more pins than badges in my opinion.

Cobra 6 Actual Posted August 13, 2023 Share #2107 Posted August 13, 2023 When I saw this on eBay I thought that it was a silver bullion 3rd Award CIB with some toning: But having received it now, it is pretty clearly a 7th Award CIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted August 13, 2023 Share #2108 Posted August 13, 2023 Very nice Cobra 6! Forgive my ignorance, but what does a 7th award refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted August 14, 2023 Share #2109 Posted August 14, 2023 No ignorance need be forgiven: Well, in actuality, jmd62, it is impossible to be earn a 7th Award CIB. In fact, only 3rd Award CIB’s are possible at this time. However, apparently the Army went ahead and developed standards and designs for beyond a 3rd Award. Given that, manufacturers went ahead and made samples, a few, beyond the 3rd Award. This is one of those rare samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic Rifleman Posted November 16, 2023 Share #2117 Posted November 16, 2023 You're correct. Those are Assmann clutches... This is a great resource.

rd12 Posted February 17 Share #2119 Posted February 17 Picked up my first new CIB in awhile, a killer direct embroidered badge on a custom tailored shirt. KMAG patch dates this to 1949-1954 I think. CIB is machine embroidered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 18 Share #2120 Posted February 18 Shirt will be from the 60s, that KMAG patch and Tab still worn, patch remains but tab changes, changes to JUSMAG-K April 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
