jetteraf Posted June 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2014 I'm in the market for a Philippine Division patch, and poked on E-Bay, but I'm not getting good vibes off what they have. I think it's because the carabao head is missing the stitched outline that I'm used to seeing on WWII patches. What do you think? Here's one offering: Link to post Share on other sites
jetteraf Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted June 3, 2014 This one has an OD border and a greenback. Suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites
jetteraf Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 3, 2014 For comparison, here's one that was sold on this site. Note the stitched outline around the head. This is what I'm used to with US WWII shoulder patches. Any thoughts on the authenticity of the others? Link to post Share on other sites

gap Posted June 3, 2014 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2014 That greenback is awesome! Not sure that greenbacks are being faked with any degree of accuracy. Link to post Share on other sites

FriscoHare Posted June 5, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 5, 2014 Just different manufacturers Agreed. The patches look good to me, especially the OD Border/Greenback. ~SeanWANTED: Philippine Department & Division patch variations, uniforms, & other items.~In honor of Private Placido Conejos, 14th Engineer Regt.

jetteraf Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks for all the input. I decided to bid on the greenback and won. I really think the OD border complements this patch design. Link to post Share on other sites
