Military logo/emblem identification

[ray1970]

Ok, you military/ex-military guys... I need help identifying something. Not sure if it is some sort of unit logo or emblem or whatnot. Anyhow, I'll describe it and see if any of you have any info for me.

it is a number "1" above a picture of what appears to be a castle. There is a banner below the castle that reads "always first".

I can maybe get a picture up later if my description is too crappy.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the Army but I'm just guessing.

Thanks.

The castle is very similar. I'll try to snap a picture shortly.

Here it is.

It has some other deployment info on it as well. Apparently it is becoming more and more popular for units that are deployed to purchase personal firearms with commemorative engraving on them.

Definitely engineers from the castle design, and my google-fu indicates 1st CBT ENGR BTN

Thanks. So this is a Marine battalion then?

A good buddy of mine was in Afganistan and his team decided to have a pistol engraved with all their team insignia engraved on them. They called multiple manufactures and all were happy to do it for the cost of the pistol plus x amount for engraving plus x amount to have the pistols shipped to one dealer. When they called Kimber, they were told that the pistol would cost x amount which was $200 less than retail and all the engraving would be free of charge. All the pistols in the order were also given a custom serial # and each pistol would be shipped to any dealer in the US. free of charge when ever they guys got home and were ready to pick them up. I now have one if these pistols in my collection as a gift from my buddy.
