I love 88th Infantry Division items. Here are the ones I have. Can anyone post pictures of other pieces?

Here is a real oddball piece I picked up a long time ago at an insignia show in the early 1980s. People who deceive collectors add stuff to airborne wings all of the time so this is probably one of those pieces. They did a very good job even going to the trouble of adding an Italian style pin back catch.

Well, could also be original, since it is sure very difficult to get an original pin back catch of that type. Very nice piece!!!

I think those DIs are so cool looking. I have attached one that I have. What is interesting

about this one is the Trieste (Trust) insignia on the DI. Thank you for starting this thread.

Very interesting subject.

 

Take care,

Pat
