Hi Hugh, thank you so much for the reply. - Chris

Hi everyone, this badge was in a group of badges and it took me ages to identify it. It's the Colombia Combat Infantry badge, and was awarded to Colombians who fought in the Korean war. It was also awarded to some Americans who fought with the Colombians. I can't find much information about it on the internet, and was wondering if anyone knew of any more information, particularly the value? Any help would be appreciated! - Chris

unfortunately it's not a rare tunic but still a nice one nonetheless. I would estimate it's worth around AU$40 or so. - Chris

awesome pics! - Chris

that's definitely an AFC colour patch on the Aussie digger. - Chris

I am pretty sure they were made in Canada for all Commonwealth countries (except Australia as we wore a different style blouse) to wear. I know Australian made battledress blouses (in this pattern even though we didn't use them) were used by British, Canadian and South African troops. - Chris

almost looks like a drivers qualification patch but it's not because of the flat bit at the bottom... It certainly has me flummoxed! - Chris

thanks for the confirmation, Tony. Battledress blouses aren't my forte - Chris

correct me if I am wrong, guys, but isn't it the C broad arrow stamping, which indicates it was made in Canada and is Canadian military property? - Chris

very, very nice indeed! Hopefully it's in Australia? - Chris

a great topic. Funnily enough I had a tunic in my collection that was nearly exactly the same as the one in post #13 except mine didn't have overseas chevrons and it had an AEME patch as opposed to the ordnance corps one. But it did have the mini 9th div. ordnance patches and the corporals chevrons! - Chris

those are both awesome! I love the NSW infantry pith. - Chris

an excellent array of patches for sure! Thanks for sharing them, guys! - Chris

awesome! I have to get up to Canberra one day and visit the AWM. - Chris

lol I wish I had the market cornered I will share the hats as I get them so stay tuned! - Chris
