ludwigh1980 Posted March 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2011 Three examples of this patch are on a uniform grouping I purchased on ebay a few months back. All pieces are ww2 issue. I have attempted to research it and have come up empty and I live in Colorado. Looks ww2 era and I think its legit. Any thoughts and respounces would be greatly appreciated.

S_E_Craig Posted April 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2011 I definately need to get my hands on a copy. -Ski The book is well worth getting, in fact I got two, one I can keep as is, and the other I can mark up with notes for changes, and addittions as they are found . It is almost time a updated version came out, but do not know if that will ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all the info i can provide at this time. Phill thanks for the info, will look forward to seeing it when it comes out. I used to really collect the statue guard and sate defnese force patches , and some pins. But find them hard to find. and always get out bid on ebay. Sometimes even miss them even though I have it marked. Sure did miss that Coloroad one which starated this thread. one I have looked for for a long time.
