Looking for Division patch variations for next book

[Bill K]

Hi Everyone,

 

My brother and I are trying to finalize the next couple of volumes of our new US Army Infantry Division Patch books. For Volume 1 please see this link for the general layout: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/270264-brand-new-us-army-soulder-patches-book/

 

Volume 2 is being worked on right now. We're looking for High quality images (300 DPI or better) of a few patches we've seen but haven't been able to photograph.

 

Here's a list of Original Patches we'd like to include in future volumes:

 

41st Division German made No OD Border

44th Division 1920's Woven (looks like a Liberty Loan)

75th Div US made No OD border

81st WWI Buff

81st Division 1920's any color other than red or blue (if they exist?)

81st Division WWII US made reversed color

88th Div Italian made with Metal Blue Devil Face

89th WWI Medical

95th Div 1920's Colored Variations (Infantry, Artillery, Medical etc.)

98th Division Gemsco

99th Division Black Border Gemsco

102nd Div Hound Dog design applied wool

108th Div machine embroidered on felt/wool

 

In addition this list, we're also looking for any Nickname tabs that go with the division patches.

 

We're also looking for Theater made / hand made insignia, Chain stitch, and Bullion.

 

If you have any of the above and would like to contribute an Image (or several) Please contact us either on the forum or at [email protected]

 

 

If you bought Volume 1 and have an interesting patch that you didn't see pictured, We'll probably have room in the last Volume for a "late additions" section. This would include anything we missed from the 1st Division up to where ever the 2nd to last volume leaves off.

 

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks to Hans for the quick reply and scan of a 75th No OD border! So take that one off the list.

Are you still looking for additions? Here is an interesting 102nd. I have quite a few interesting pieces if you are interested.

Hi Cherokee

 

The originals are very rare and are Melton wool based re this thread on the 102d Hound dog
