Here are some items from my 6th Armored Division Collection. They're not arranged well, but I did while having a conversation with someone.

Do you have anything on/from the 146th Armored Signal Company? My father-in-law was a member.

 

I've got so much more 6th Armored Division items stored away and i'm going through my Military stuff to get 6th AD items. I may have something from the 146th Armored Signal Company. Over the next few days as I get all the 6th Armored items out of my collection, if I find a 146th Armored Signal Company item I'll let you know and post a pic of it here.

 

Regards,

Bill

Thanks for posting Bill.My Father served in Co A 44th AIB during WWII.Robert

That amazes me! I've read a lot about the 9th, 44th and 50th AIB. Those Armored Infantrymen were some tough fighting son of a guns. i think I have a lot more 6th AD items, I just have to get them all together and try to get some good pics of them. I almost got a 44th AIB patch but someone else snatched it up before I did, but I'm still looking out for one.

 

Regards,

Bill

Thanks for posting. Going through my father-in-law's military items he had several SSI's but no DI's. I will have to start looking for one. Signal is not something I usually collect. If you would come up with an extra I would appreciate it if you would let me know.

And still on the card! Nice!

Thanks again! That's the only one I've gotten that's still on the card, would like to find some more like that. Here is one of the 69th Tank Battalion patches I have, it's a pretty big patch and I have some smaller ones also and i'll have go through all my other patches to find them.

I think most Armored Divisions had an Assault Gun Platoon and it's not mine but I tried to win it on Ebay but my limit that day was $150.00 and this patch sold for around $295.00, so it must be a pretty rare patch. Maybe I will find another one.

Here are most of my greenback 6th AD patches and a few with tabs on them with the 6th AD nickname or unit name.

I probably have more 6th AD greenbacks but this about as much as I can post now. I also still have a few 6th Armored Division items to post here. I may have made some mistakes with the pics because it gets confusing trying to post a lot of things that look a lot alike. But here is pics of most of the 6th Armored Division greenback I have. Regards, Bill
