That could be. It has a few ordnance marks on individual parts, trigger housing, top of the bolt.  Those parts were probably inspected and marked prior to any assembly.

I showed this yesterday to my Uncle (the only living son of Samuel. He had no idea about why the address was listed as Philly.

That is very interesting, it appears his claim was disapproved, so this must be the correct card for Cpl. Robinson, fantastic!   Why do you think he was promoted to Corporal so quickly in Basic Training?

OOOOH Cheese and Rice! I'm not a hater of the Infantry, but "master"?? When we got back from the Gulf in '91, they put the fellows through the testing and you know what EIB stood for , for those guys .. Everybody In Battalion/Brigade  .. or so the rumor mill rumbled. Leave it to the Army to create another badge.

WHAT... in the wild, wild world of sports is a MASTER COMBAT INFANTRYMAN'S Badge1?!!?

I think 1956 was when the brassard first saw regulations. It was sort of a free-for-all, and many were made in a variety of shapes and cloths at local or unit level. I have seen (and own....) various ones made with felt, cloth, canvas, vinyl, or combinations there of. Many are from the early 60's. Most I saw in use by the end of the 80's/1990's were vinyl or OD canvas type for field. 

wow. I have never seen a grave like this, thanks for sharing.

While going through pictures that my dad had, I came across one from a graduation NCO class.  One of the soldiers, center row, third from the left, is wearing the South Atlantic Forces SSI.  But the soldier in last row, far right is my dad.  What is interesting is that the DUI's he is wearing is the 324th Infantry Regiment.  The same unit he was assigned to just before being shipped out to Germany sometime in 1944.  I figured that by the time he attended the NCO school he would be assigned to a different unit.  Also, the 44th ID would be on his right shoulder as well.
