Pbaczuk Posted December 7, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2019 Hi all. I found this jacket. It is the first arctic jacket I have found. This one was modified with the removal of the sleeve adjuster straps. Also, the left sleeve has evidence of a shield patch. I assume a 2nd ID patch. The shoulder rank straps also have rank holes punched in where I assume Captain bars sat judging by the hole location. I want to throw a question to you all: does it make sense to "restore" the jacket by sewing a replacement patch and attaching rank insignia?

patches Posted December 10, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 10, 2019 Could also have been besides a 2nd Div one, either a 16th or 20th Corps patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbaczuk Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted December 13, 2019 They are the same size and shape? I will check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted December 13, 2019 Share #9 Posted December 13, 2019 They are the same size and shape? I will check them out. The three, 2nd Div, 16th and 20th Corps are similar in shape, yes, slight differences though in the contours of the shield between the three.

Pbaczuk Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted December 20, 2019 I could not help myself. The 2nd ID patch fit perfectly. I stitched it on. Here is how it looks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
