easterneagle87 Posted May 9, 2016 Share #1305 Posted May 9, 2016 Could some please repost the Afghanistan made CIB with the local blue stone (what is it by the way) they used. Remember the posting but can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

439th Signal Battalion Posted May 24, 2016 Share #1308 Posted May 24, 2016 Captain from A/5-12, 199th LIB wearing a subdued pin-on CIB with star, late 1969. On a side note, I'd like to find two of the culvert halves behind this officer (that were often used for bunkers and fighting positons) for display purposes. The closest design that I have been able to find are windwo wells at Lowes but they are too small. Anyone have any ideas on where these may be found?

seanmc1114 Posted May 24, 2016 Share #1309 Posted May 24, 2016 Captain from A/5-12, 199th LIB wearing a subdued pin-on CIB with star, late 1969. img048_edited-1 (600x466).jpg On a side note, I'd like to find two of the culvert halves behind this officer (that were often used for bunkers and fighting positons) for display purposes. The closest design that I have been able to find are windwo wells at Lowes but they are too small. Anyone have any ideas on where these may be found? That one's interesting as he appears too young to have served in Korea. His combat patch looks like the 101st Airborne so he probably had an earlier tour in Vietnam. Could the second award of the CIB he is wearing have been meant to signify two tours in Vietnam or a tour in Vietnam plus the Dominican Republic? It seems that the issues of multiple awards during the Vietnam era (Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Laos, Korean DMZ) had already been pretty much ironed out by then. Even if he was a Mustang, by 1969 that would require him to be in his mid-30's to have served in the Korean War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1311 Posted June 15, 2016 A summer home renovation project required me to box up my collection for awhile. I took some quick pictures of my cloth CIBs - I think these really show the incredible variety of cloth badges that can be found. Apologies for the poor quality of the pics. Left tray, 1950's-60's. Mostly theater made, many hand embroidered. Right tray 1970's-present. Again, mostly theater made. A few US made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1312 Posted June 15, 2016 Vietnam Era - all theater made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1313 Posted June 15, 2016 1940's - 50's. Most of these are post 1945 Occupation Era pieces. German, Italian, British. Some of the badges embroidered on khaki in the right tray are US made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1314 Posted June 15, 2016 These are probably my favorite to collect ( and the hardest to find! ). CIBs in bullion. These are not displayed by era or origin. Most are foreign made, German, Japanese, Italian and are late 1940's thru 1960's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1318 Posted June 15, 2016 Excellent collection, rd12! By far, you have one of the most extensive -- and carefully selected -- CIB collections 'out there.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted June 24, 2016 Share #1322 Posted June 24, 2016 I would love to have one of these for my collection!!! These salesman sample ones: Still turn up occasionally. I got one off of eBay a couple of years ago. Note that the design is incorrect as the three stars are aligned in a pyramid shape when they should be more of an arc shape.

rd12 Posted June 24, 2016 Share #1323 Posted June 24, 2016 Cobra 6, any markings on your badge? I would wager that very few companies invested the time/expense to have these made. I thought I had a picture saved of a 4th award that was made by NS Meyer - but I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted June 24, 2016 Share #1324 Posted June 24, 2016 Actually, rd12, it's good you asked because when I took it out to look at that CIB I found this: It's not a 4th Award CIB, but an 8th Award one (although the gilt is a little hard to see ... apologies for my lack of phoography skills). And, yes, those are N.S. Meyer hallmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
