Colombia Combat Infantry badge help please

[chippo]

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!

Nice piece.  The badge is shown and discussed briefly in Kevin Ingraham's book, Honors, Medals and Awards of the Korean War 1950-1953, along with several other awards to Colombian forces.  (pp. 40-43)  Sorry, can't help with value, although the field of interested collectors would probably be fairly limited.  

Best,

Hugh
