McDermut99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2017 I bought this earlier today at a local thrift I hadn't yet been to. I believe it to be a WWII era army HBT shirt. If I am incorrect, I would greatly appreciate learning about what version it is and why. It is a size 34R, and there is remnants of a QM tag in the right breast pocket. The unfortunate aspect is that it got in the hands some civilian probably who added a couple patches on the sleeves and a large embroidered outline of a colonel's wing on the back.Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!

Steve B. Posted October 20, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2017 I think the emblem on the back is the United Farm Workers logo. It resembles a Colonel rank insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jguy1986 Posted October 20, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2017 If those are legit 60s patches, its a great piece of counter-culture history... there are plenty of plain HBTs out there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
