2012年2月9日 · I also know they were still wearing the Airborne tab as recently as the 90's when they went to Iraq during Desert Storm. They were attached to the 101st over there and wore the Screaming Eagle as their combat patch when they returned home but even then they were still wearing the Airborne tab over the 81st patch.

2016年6月22日 · WHat you have here is the standard para-glider cap patch that was worn by all soldiers serving in airborne units from the end of WWII on. Since your grandfather served from 1950 to 1952, he most likely served in either the 11th or 82nd Airborne Divisions.

2024年9月29日 · Found this 101st Airborne patch at the flea market today and need some help. It is a cut edge patch with some white on the back but not real snowy. I looked on Mark Bando’s great website and the closet I came was to a Type 3. I also looked at Vietnam era patches on eBay and honestly it was pretty...

2014年9月4日 · At least the seller isn't claiming its the 592nd Airborne Mess Kit Repair Company variation! I also agree with Dave, test run, not a rare variant. If it was anything more, one would have shown up by now, or it would be the Airborne patch version to what the elusive $200 dollar jeep in a crate myth is among collectors.

2024年7月9日 · I'll take a stab- your marine airborne patch is a fantasy piece. Both of your 504th PIR patches are fakes. The 82nd Support patch is an original and dates to the 1960's. The 502nd is a reproduction of the type used in Vietnam. The 551st is a reproduction of the "Boots" type. The pathfinder wing is new manufacture.

2013年10月13日 · Computer embroidered isn't it guys? certainly looks it. But on the 101 Black back, one thing to consider is, unless this was one made after 1956, I'm not sure they made attached tab-ed 101st for a long time after WWII ended, the Division was actived on and off as a Training Division starting in June 1948 till March 1956, during that time the Screaming Eagles …

2019年4月26日 · The 8th Infantry Division operated its own jump school at Wiesbaden Air Base to support its 1st Brigade as well as other elements of the United States Army, Europe.In 1973 the 1st Brigade's assets were transferred to Vicenza, Italy, to establish a separate Airborne Task Force there and the two Airborne infantry battalions were replaced by the ...

2024年6月14日 · This is most definitely not a Type 5 patch. Mark Bando calls this an "amoeba eye" design and he classifies them as either a Tye 3 or a Type 4 depending on whether the tab is attached or separate. Either way, with the white tongue and all, it is a really nice patch.

2024年6月10日 · Your 8th Armored patch certainly does look a lot like my 82nd patch. I've personally never understood paying a premium for the bobbin thread color but there are a lot of collectors who do, and I'd be leaving money on the table if I sold it without investigating first.
