brad k Posted January 29, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2012 I got this on ebay last summer, it was very expensive but it's got about everything you could ask for, nice div. patch, wound stripe, numbered disc., cross stiched patches, named items in the pocket and it's a 1918 model (no patch pockets). I haven't done any research on the guy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianairborne Posted February 8, 2012 Share #7 Posted February 8, 2012 WOW. Nice SSI and jacket. Can I ask how much you paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad k Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted February 8, 2012 WOW. Nice SSI and jacket. Can I ask how much you paid? $390.00 total with shipping, they put the collar disc's (HQ 320th FA) on the following week so I had to compete for those too. The other stuff in the pockets wasn't mentioned so that was a good surprise since I didn't know it was id'ed when I bought it. (also has pants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted February 8, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2012 That is a great looking uniform! The model 1918 uniform is pretty rare to be actually used in WWI. Within the last year I saw two of them (one at a show and one at a antique shop) and neither had a patch, and I think the 82nd is one of the nicest designed patch. Congratulations.

History Man Posted February 8, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 8, 2012 Can only echo what others have siad, what a beautiful uniform! :thumbsup: The patch is gorgeous and its an overall hard to find set up. This would be one nice representitive piece for WW1. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww1collector Posted February 9, 2012 Share #13 Posted February 9, 2012 My father was the signal officer for the 320th HQ in WW1. He was wounded Nov. 4, 1918. The commander of the 320 was Col. Williams, who I met when I was a kid. I have the 320th unit history, but I do not believe any enlisted men were named. My father took all the pictures in the U/H in the winter of 1918/1919, and wrote one of the chapters. If the name is in there, I will let you know. Great patch, by the way. I have everything my father had in the war including his painted trunk, uniform, pictures etc. His patches were a more standard "rope" border type.
