    It appears that about ten years ago a group of Rhodesian RLI and special forces veterans made an unofficial metal Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) for wear at reunions and parades. The metal badge looks like this:

    I am looking for one of these for my collection and will trade or buy it. I already have the cloth one so am looking for this metal, unofficial Rhodesian CIB. Anyone have one?

    that's patterned after the South African marksmanship badge.

    Thanks for that image, Zvez. The documentaion I have seen indicates it was patterned after the U.S. Army's CIB:
