No, just drawn on a piece of art board.

I wish it was a Xmas card, but then Danielle would have taken it from me.

Steve,

Here's a plaque for your engineer unit.

Wow all this 1284th stuff would have made one hell of an article!

Very nice 42nd Engineer Back Patch ... Mine is very similar

 

 

 

 

Here are two different 42nd Engineer Construction Bn. patches from the Occupation of Korea. Company A, was located in Yongsan Garrison in and was responsible for construction the most of the dependent housing at that post. Company B, was located in Pusan and I image they had their hands full down there with the 11 Medium Port improvements.

One other engineer piece that I do have is for the 13thEngineer Bn. This one is a custom made Ike jacket with hand embroidered DI's, 7thDivision SSI's on both sleeves, and a very cool pair of dragons surrounding the 13thEngineer distinctive insignia (in center) on the back of the jacket. If I can recall correctly it has 1947 Seoul, Korea on it too.

Love the cav patch in above post. In another post there was mention of red Bushmaster patches and that there were Artillery and Engineer units;the Engineer being an African-american unit. Have some examples to show with tabs and include a balck color variation as a bonus.

Here is my contribution of Cav patches that I've picked up over the yeas at flea markets. I know very little about them that I'm guessing are probably between the wars insignia. This first piece are all felt pieces sewn together. I don't know what the cut out star represents.

Here is another batch

 

Mort,

Your "Korea" & "352 C/R" is the 352nd Communication Reconnaissance Company. Great patch not Cav or Eng, but early ASA.

Bill thanks for the correction. always thought it was engineer. Believe there was an article in the TP of ASMIC that had to do with Korean War Eng patches with the ID and it is also in Steins as an Eng unit. So the question is it it better to ID as Eng or ASA as far as rarity, value,etc? Thanks

 

Mort

 

PS will post some more soon to keep this going.
