The classic badge of a combat-proven Infantryman! Up for sale is a genuine US Army Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB - 1st Award) in the traditional full-color metal and enamel finish. The reverse is stamped with the "V-21" hallmark, identifying it as a product of Vanguard Military Equipment Corp. Since the Institute of Heraldry introduced these alphanumeric codes in 1965, this badge perfectly dates to the Vietnam War era through the 1970s. It shows honest wear and a beautiful, authentic patina.

An extremely rare transitional piece from the early Vietnam War! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape in the tactical subdued (black) format. What makes this piece highly sought after is the backing material: the text is embroidered directly onto a strip of iconic HBT (Herringbone Twill) fabric. This combination of the dark embroidery (introduced in 1966) and the older, durable HBT canvas from the Korean War era makes it a classic transitional artifact. The tape is in perfect, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.
