HOF Posted September 9, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2014 A couple of questions ... 1.) Are all four WWII variations? None glow. 2.) Is the gold variation for female soldiers? 3.) What does the blue represent? 4.) Any other variations I need to look for? Thanks, HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Jack Posted September 9, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2014 I have one that I believe is WWII era that is different--horizontal black oval with gold small o large C and small s with o and s elevated to the center of the C. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzemke Posted September 9, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 9, 2014 They also exist on twill if I remember correctly. The gold letters patch is a post WWII color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted September 10, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2014 I have about 6-8 variations from WW2-1950. There is also a black back WW2 too. I have to check, but I believe Vance is correct with twill. I went through OCS which is why I started to collect them. The nice thing about OCS patches is that you can get any variation for under $5.

ASMIC2971 Posted September 10, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2014 Vance, They do exist in twill. I've seen a few pop up recently. It's the only WWII variation of this patch I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just BIN tonight. Will see when it arrives by the weekend. Sure appears to be blue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted September 10, 2014 WOW. I guess I will need to look for some twill and black back patches and the one Jumpin Jack describes too. Thanks for all the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted September 11, 2017 Share #17 Posted September 11, 2017 Here is a rare one that I just picked up. A recent article in the TP speaks about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted September 11, 2017 Share #18 Posted September 11, 2017 Here is another variation of it that I missed out on ebay last Thanksgiving. If you have this version I would pay well for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 13, 2020 Share #19 Posted January 13, 2020 I fixed the photo in #18 up on photoshop. I just picked this one up this past week and am pleased to add it to my collection. They are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QED4 Posted January 14, 2020 Share #20 Posted January 14, 2020 I was always under the impression the OD on blue patches were early 1950s when chevrons were OD on blue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted June 3, 2022 Share #21 Posted June 3, 2022 My blue one is randomly in a shadow box so it was not included in this photo. Here is what I have from collecting since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMIC2971 Posted June 4, 2022 Share #22 Posted June 4, 2022 Forgot about this thread. Here’s an odd one I picked out a junk bin at SOS a year or two ago. The front has been colored in, hard to see but when in hand you can notice the bleeding of the black circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted April 20, 2023 Share #23 Posted April 20, 2023 I finally picked up a reverse! Many years in the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
