ocsfollowme Posted August 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2014 Finally checked off a rare patch from my "Dream List" today. Came with matching United States/America tab. Thrilled--my future 3rd quilt is shaping up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtA Posted August 29, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 29, 2014 Excellent example. And most importantly, you have the tab. You can find the patch by itself, but finding a loose tab is almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamarhooten Posted August 30, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 30, 2014 Oh you got one with a tab lucky you ! I found a patch but not tab ! Same story here! I think I will finally break down and get the matching set at the ASMIC show next week. Might even aim high and go for the Aloamo Scouts too. Good looking tab and patch!

ocsfollowme Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted March 20, 2017 The tab is currently up on ebay if anyone wants one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-late-WWII-American-Mission-to-Observe-Greek-Elections-Tab-Used-/142313663088?hash=item21228e2a70:g:4b0AAOSwol5YyJO6 Only 400 of the SSI was ever created and the tabs are equally rarer if not more rare as if found they do not scream militaria. The SSI have dropped in price recently which I find odd. Several have gone for $250 at BIN on ebay. The tab is equally worth that price IMHO.
