Greetings,

 

I recently visited a friend who has 3-4 riker cases of discs and in those displays was this tank corps example. Would someone know what the purpose was of a number on a tank disc?
 

This disc came out the estate of General Edward Burka in Maryland who passed away in 2021:

First impression, a reproduction, fantasy, or fake. The choice of which word to use can be argued. The "5" is supposed to be a unit. designation.

Greetings, 

 

Picked up a handful of new examples of collar discs at this year's SOS at Louisville that I'm excited to share here. First is a set that came on a Postal Express NCO's tunic:

French-made PES disc on left side of collar

It took a day or two after picking this uniform up for me to realize the US disc is a pinback style with extra periods added

 

The second disc is one that accompanied a 93rd "Blue Helmet" Division uniform. The font style struck me as unusual, I would be interested to know if someone has seen a similar disc:

Hope everyone who attended SOS this year found some good things to take home! I look forward to checking out next year; hopefully the change to the North Hall won't mess things up too much!

 

Best Regards,

-J.D.
