apardini Posted September 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2018 Bought this patch at an antique stores in Martinez CA birthplace of Joe DiMaggio. It measures 3 7/8 inches in diameter. If I remember from my reading the was a Paratrooper version of this patch that was not standard issue but sold at PXs. I have never read about a Glidertroop version. Can anyone confirm that this is WWII era and give me anymore info. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted September 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 4, 2018 As Doyler said- this is an original WWII piece and variations exist for both the glider troops and the paratroops versions. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
