mortaydc60 Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2012 Two very rare patches were just sold by Rarepatchman. I have not seen much in the way of older patches(pre-VN) being discussed on the forum from the Engineer and the Cavalry branches. We have seen Armor,TD and Airborne and was curious what members have to show from their collections regarding these other branches. Would also like to see Artillery branch represented if possible. The cav patch sold was the 112th cav and the eng was the 437th,both over $600. what do you think the 112th would have sold for if it had the motto tab included? Lets see what you got!

The 1629 is a great patch and like the tab. I guess you posted this while I was scanning some WW1 Engineer patches which will show now.

We believe the figure at the bottom left is supposed to be Our old pal Adolph, and if true, that along with the Nazi banner being depicted, would make this patch a rarity for sure in the history of U.SW. military patches.

mortaydc60 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted April 11, 2012 That's a great patch. Chris You can always count on Patch Johnson to raise the stakes; he did it with a great,great patch. I was not at all familiar with it and did some research. Why did it have Hitler and Togo and also Nazi and Rising Sun flags?Answer was that it servered in Europe but also had a company that was sent to Japan in 1945. The black figure looks alittle confusing but after seeing the DI it was clears that it is a black crow which is the symbol of death. Thanks to Patch Johnson. I will be posting alot more patches but my first try was too large to losd. Please be patient you won't be disappointed. Mort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamundo Posted April 19, 2012 Share #20 Posted April 19, 2012 And a couple of other cavalry. The 5th Recon appears Korean made, might I am not sure if it is Korean War vintage.

kiaiokalewa Posted April 19, 2012 Share #23 Posted April 19, 2012 Aloha Mort, Here area few Engineer pieces from the Occupation of Korea (1945-1949) Originally I had thought that the 1092ndEngineer Utility Detachment was a Korea War piece until I found the XXIV Corps patch with Dragon. The construction materials and style is consistent with Korean Occupation made insignia. The dead ringer is the paper back on the patches. They are from the same math text book page. Now I'm not talking about it just being glued in place but the silk thread is sewn through these text pages. I've only found one lead on the unit itself and from of all places a Mormon website. Evidently the Captain and several of the detachment members had formed the first Mormon Service Club in Korea during 1946. Somewhere in Mormon archives are Corporal M. Anderson's pictures of the 1092nd EUD in Seoul. BTW we traded on this patch about 10 years ago at the San Diego ASMIC Convention. It was the last show I've ever attended. I'm still waiting for the convention to return back to the west coast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaiokalewa Posted April 19, 2012 Share #24 Posted April 19, 2012 Here are two different 42nd Engineer Construction Bn. patches from the Occupation of Korea. Company A, was located in Yongsan Garrison in and was responsible for construction the most of the dependent housing at that post. Company B, was located in Pusan and I image they had their hands full down there with the 11 Medium Port improvements. One other engineer piece that I do have is for the 13thEngineer Bn. This one is a custom made Ike jacket with hand embroidered DI's, 7thDivision SSI's on both sleeves, and a very cool pair of dragons surrounding the 13thEngineer distinctive insignia (in center) on the back of the jacket. If I can recall correctly it has 1947 Seoul, Korea on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
