TNWW2Buff Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hey Robert, I've never seen one exactly like this either, this is early postwar made in occupied Germany. David Link to post Share on other sites

Sparty On Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Well, if you ever want to part ways with it please keep me in mind. That's a nice 82nd bullion too!

TNWW2Buff Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. And yes Ken, I keep 'em in riker cases. Hey Sean, no one I've talked to has ever seen a 101st Airborne patch exactly like that one. Now if only I can find a decent price on a bullion 101st Airborne patch! Link to post Share on other sites

ww2relichunter Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. And yes Ken, I keep 'em in riker cases. Hey Sean, no one I've talked to has ever seen a 101st Airborne patch exactly like that one. Now if only I can find a decent price on a bullion 101st Airborne patch! It is a beautiful patch !! maybe even one of a kind and the 101st bullion patches are tricky their are so many repros theese day !! i cant recall ever seeing a real one in person Link to post Share on other sites
TNWW2Buff Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah, and on e-bay I almost never see an authentic bullion 101st Airborne patch. Sometimes I'll see the British made felt version, but even they go for hundreds of dollars. I must confess I paid way too much for the rare "FDR SS" 30th Inf. Div. patch, but I just had to have it since it was worn by troops from Tennessee (and other places too of course). Link to post Share on other sites
ww2relichunter Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Sometimes if you really want something over paying a little is justifiable espically if you have a personally confection to a piece and it is very rare piece to boot ! Link to post Share on other sites
