108th Inf Division--Ghost

Opinions sought as to whether this patch is good or repro. Does not glow and passes burn test, however I do not like the "lack of snow" on the reverse side, hence the request for opinions. Thank you in advance, gentlemen, for your expertise.

From what I can see, it looks good to me. Remember, the lack of snow is not a tell-tale sign of a repro or a postwar patch. Many wartime patches have almost no snow whatsoever. Now if the back has nylon synthetic threads, then you have a problem.

Thank you for your response. Are you still digging out from the weekend???

The cars are clear and the sidewalk is done. Now we have another storm brewing tommorow so more shoveling to come!

I know what your feeling. I live about 50 miles NE of Phila. We only got about 7 inches this last storm, but the next one coming is supposed to hit us good.

I used to have that problem with snow, I lived about 100 miles NW of Philly for many years.

Today it was down to the mid 60's in Phoenix, and it's hard to shovel sunshine.

 

Speaking of snow, I have to agree with Ski, snow on the back of a patch can be a favorable sign, but it's not the only one, nor is the lack of it necessarily a negative one.

If it passes a burn test and it doesn't glow, those are pretty sound indicators that it's good.
