Hi all,

 

I had actually posted this a long time ago on the forum but figured I wanted to rephotograph it and add it to the spoils section. This was a grouping I picked up from a customer at my old job. He lived on the same block as the hardware store I worked at. I got to talking with him and asked if his dad was in the service and brought anything back. He said he had some stuff and a medal I would like. So a few days later he showed up with a box of stuff to show me. I took a look and a few days later purchased it. There was a Nazi flag but kept that, either way I still did very well. B)

 

Box full of goodies

His ribbon bars patches and DUI for the 333rd Engineer Regiment

US patches he collected

Finally his bringbacks. He was right I did like the Luftwaffe Flak Badge! And of course I was more than pleased to get the hunting association patch. Too bad the moths got to it!

His dad is top row third from the left.

Forestry patch is beautiful as usual.

 

Flak badge looks like an early one.

 

Does it have a maker ?

No maker but nice early construction

 

An OD bordered 3rd Army patch and an 8-wheel TD patch too? Nice!

Ian I'm guessing that a OD bordered 3rd army patch is fairly uncommon? I'm not up to date on US patches.

 

Thanks guys for the complements!
