Some nice armor/cav stuff there (in Post #13). Memories of my life..........

 

3 Cav - US made, probably 1950s at Ft. Meade, MD

A/63 - A Co, 63d Hvy Tk Bn, 1ID - German made, early 1950s

1 RCN - 1st Recon Co, 1ID - German made, early 1950s

63 Armor - German made - a toss up here...... German made, probably 63d Tk Bn, early 50s; BUT..... could be 63d Armor (3d Bde/1ID in Germany), very early 70s

 

I'll try to get my stuff on here, soon.

Thanks. With the exception of 57th & 826th Tk Bns, they were all earned the hard way, by either my father or myself serving in the units. I'm still missing at least 4, but I'll find them.

I have plenty of these, this is just from a two minute search of my insignia box...

The ADA ones from given to by my Uncle (served in Nam). The 143rd one was given to me by a vet's kid but I lost the name that went with it.

The 180th one to the top right is VERY special to me, as that's Bill Mauldin's unit and is from late WW2. The 180th below it was given to me by an officer in the real 180th when he read my first magazine article on Bill Mauldin a few years ago...
