Mr.Jerry Posted July 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2014 I picked this one up from a friend of mine that scored it way too cheap at a local auction. Nice to have the discharge paper (Note the unusual unit designation!) and very cool with the engineer cap cord around the patch, but the bullion one is a screamer! First time I have seen that one done in bullion with little snaps on the back to remove it from the uniform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberwolf Posted July 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2014 Very cool little group! I'm surprised at the quality of the US made bullion patch, as most of them aren't near the quality of German or Italian made. This would have been one flashy uniform!

Grant S. Posted July 1, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 1, 2014 Is it true that for security reasons those authorized to wear the patch were not allowed to do so until after the war was over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombatEng44 Posted July 2, 2014 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2014 Wow. One heck of a find. I live minutes from Oak Ridge, TN so we find a few good items from the Project...known as the Clinton Engineering Works to us. I picked up some Manhattan Project Stationary a few months ago and also a Chauffeur Badge. My wish is to find a WAC uniform from the project. The only one I've seen is in the museum. I think there were only something like 22 WAC stationed there. I saw one of those bullion patches go for big bucks not long ago. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Collector .45 Posted July 2, 2014 Share #12 Posted July 2, 2014 Very Cool! I have not had that kind of luck for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatEng44 Posted May 15, 2017 Share #13 Posted May 15, 2017 Well, it took 3 yrs but I finally found a WAC Manhattan District Uniform. With only approximately 400 WACs assigned to the Engineers at the various MD locations it was not an easy find. I'll try to post it on the woman's section soon. Still researching the lady.

Gunslinger Posted May 15, 2017 Share #14 Posted May 15, 2017 Very cool little group! I'm surprised at the quality of the US made bullion patch, as most of them aren't near the quality of German or Italian made. The Bullion insignia is German made, it's higher quality of workmanship in comparison to U.S. produced insignia. Here a link giving some additional information by B. Scott. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/285448-bullion-manhattan-project-patch/ CDub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
