Gunslinger Posted November 8, 2016 Share #12 Posted November 8, 2016 Neat sample board displaying high quality German bullion work including flat-wire weave. CDub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted November 8, 2016 Share #13 Posted November 8, 2016 The German bullion is exquisite.I would be interested to know how they made it.By hand or machine? The four red tint tabs & title are machine woven in aluminum flat-wire, the remaining designs are hand embroidered in aluminum wire threads. The manufacture techniques are the same as the German NCO / Officers insignia produced during the war. CDub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share #15 Posted June 12, 2018 Was just browsing eBay and came across these.Here is the sellers description for them: "Original WWII occupation era cardboard patch underlays used to make bullion patches. These are fragile and a couple parts have disconnected from themselves." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted June 12, 2018 Share #16 Posted June 12, 2018 Im the seller. I had a bunch of these at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted June 12, 2018 Share #17 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm sure the lady doing the bullion work on the German made patches was doing bullion work on Nazi eagles and SS runes a few days before she started knocking out patches for US forces. I think it is also interesting that she probably put a lot more work into the MUC bullion than she did for the Airborne Army design. Today, the MUC would be worth tens of dollars and the airborne hundreds... Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
