DM1975 Posted March 25, 2007 Share #229 Posted March 25, 2007 What is the badge between the CAB's and the CIB's? Nice two piece CIB's there by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt175 Posted March 25, 2007 Share #230 Posted March 25, 2007 Those are the so called "prototype" CAB. They were made by Vanguard either as proposals or as what they thought the CAB's were going to look like. The only real difference is the size of the wreath.

DM1975 Posted March 25, 2007 Share #233 Posted March 25, 2007 A little note about the CAB. Being in the Infantry and having been awarded the CIB myself, when the CAB came out alot of people I work with were upset about it, to include me at first. I have now come to my senses and dont see an issue with it but alot of people still do. The CAB is commonly refered to around here as the Crying A*s B***h award.

Got da Penny Posted April 15, 2007 Share #234 Posted April 15, 2007 Found these this weekend at a local Antique Show. My dealer friend told me that the "Big Time" dealers came thru Friday Morning as usual, I asked him if these were here on Friday? "Nope, I just brought them in today/Saturday"? Goes to show you the Early Bird DOESNT always get the Worm.!!!! Price for these? $20.00 Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siege1863 Posted July 1, 2007 Share #239 Posted July 1, 2007 Here is a collection of CIBs that belonged to Raymond Samuelson. He served with the 79th Infantry Division and later the 1st Infantry Division. The metal badge is marked sterling and has the concave back, short pins, and sterling clutches. Let me know if interested in seeing the backs of any of the pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve B. Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share #242 Posted July 2, 2007 Those are some sweet CIBs!! I almost like the bevo better than the bullion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siege1863 Posted July 2, 2007 Share #243 Posted July 2, 2007 As some of you may recall, this man wrote extensively during his time in the service and I have all the letters between him and his wife. In one letter he tells the wife that there is a shortage of the metal (sterling) CIBs and that he was wearing the embroidered ones on his uniforms. It may be in the same letter, but not certain, that he also says he borrowed a metal CIB from a friend to put on his "Ike" jacket when he went into town on a pass. It was showier!

Jim Baker Posted July 3, 2007 Share #247 Posted July 3, 2007 Ricardo, Not saying it hasn't happened, but I've never seen one of these on a uniform. The article pretty much says what I've been told about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtA Posted July 4, 2007 Share #250 Posted July 4, 2007 Most originals I've seen have led me to believe they were Asian (usually Japanese) made and of Korean War vintage. Many you see were made for the collector market in the 1960's/1970's. They tend to have a very flat opaque enamel work and the silver is very shiny.
