That would be the current Combat Service Identification Badge you know that piece of insignia that's worn today on the Class A Blues, worn in instead of the shoulder patch. As such I can't or wouldn't categorize these and those like them as PTCs http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/Heraldry.aspx?HeraldryId=5446&CategoryId=3108&grp=2&menu=Uniformed%20Services&ps=24&p=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share #231 Posted May 23, 2017 Here's a foto of that 82nd Abn Div NCBU DI in use in 1952 showing that these were worn, seems to be all we ever see is the 82nd Abn Div Patch type Crest right! Like wise the 101st Rendezvous With Destiny NCBU DI, seems to be we see always the 101's PTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted September 23, 2017 Share #236 Posted September 23, 2017 This looks like the patch type crest of the 2nd Infantry Division being worn in the early 60s. That makes since because the Institute of Heraldry shows the DUI for the NCBU of the 2nd wasn't approved until 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a great photo I found that shows the new NCBU 2nd Div DIs. One Wesley Adams, circa 1973-74, 1st Sgt in an unknown high command organization of the 2nd Div, either the Div HHC, or one of the HHC's of one of the three brigades. (Great theater made fatique we see). He was in from 1957 to 1984, was a Cmd Sgt Maj upon retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collectors see a lot of WW I caps with metal insignia - collar disks, and the like, but it is rare to see one with a patch type insignia, or any type of cloth insignia. Thanks for showing it.

patches Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share #250 Posted December 26, 2017 Well Well look at this, looks like we're seeing a Patch Type Crest being worn for 50s-60s U.S. Army Aggressor Forces patch right! that's what it looks like, but I couldn't begin to guess which unit would wear something like this as a permanent party unit crest, like was this a command organization with a CO, Staff and HHC?. Here we see two views of this insignia, on a truck, and on the uniform, to include the same insignia PTC on the cap "Enemy Generalissimo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
