firefighter Posted August 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2016 Has anyone ever seen ones with other units? If you have any please post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFnav Posted August 30, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2016 I have some of those you picture here, but not any other ones. I like these, they must have been popular during the war and immediately thereafter. I wonder if many vets wore them? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted September 1, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2016 Here is a photo of four of these lapel pins from my collection. Since I specialize in WWII Airborne, that's what you see here. I find it interesting that there would be a lapel pin for a Ghost Division as well as the odd variation of the 82nd Airborne Division pieces. Obviously, the blue 82nd patch with a red background is an oddity. I know for a fact that many other unit insignias are out there. About 35 years ago, I gave one of these with a 10th Mountain Division insignia to Senator Bob Dole. I have seen them with Airborne Troop Carrier, and with Airborne Command and the 13th and 17th Airborne Divisions. These can be addicting. Good luck finding more.

firefighter Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted September 1, 2016 Allan those are cool. I like them all, especially the Ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFnav Posted September 4, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 4, 2016 Since there's a ghost division, I wonder if some manufacturer got ahold of some insignia or insignia charts and just made up a bunch of lapel buttons for sale to the public, immediately after the war?
