Hello again,
Thank you for your swift reply.. I think the bullion type is Italian (my humble opinion), it has the low grade bullion, unlike the Japanese and Korean that were done in real silver thread, they were also done in a neater fashion then their Italian counterparts.
Italy was renowned for their embroidery and I have identical samples like Seaforth Highlanders and Three Rivers Regiment, they were as far as I know never in Korea. Other badges exist like a lot of variations on the bullion 8th army shields, FSSF flashes and all the Polish made bullion variations (they were on the bottom of the supply line). I think it is good to discuss this as I noticed a lot of Canadian collectors refer to these as ''Officer type" which I think is a bit unlikely.. Thanks again!
Alex
