ka bar Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share #26 Posted July 29, 2014 After a shaky start, I posted a section in the WANTED sub forum for the main 4 divisions involved in the landings What I might do is make a kind of "scroll" that I can hang up on my war board and have them in a neat verticle line and label each division Then if I get into the regimental DUIs, I will place them alongside each divisional patch This is becoming exciting indeed!

David D Posted July 29, 2014 Share #27 Posted July 29, 2014 Let me tell you, If you are going to get into D-Day divisions, be prepared to spend $$$$ a 1st ID patch will run from $10-$20 a 29th ID patch, will run $15-30 a 4th ID patch will run for around $10 and a 90th ID patch will run around 5-$10 -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted July 29, 2014 Share #28 Posted July 29, 2014 Of course, you can skip to the next level and just collect original uniforms of the said divisions! One of our senior mods, Johan Willaert from Belgium, has a world class collection of 29th uniforms and related items. Enjoy! http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/57160-the-liberator-collection/?hl=%2Bthe+%2Bliberator+%2Bcollection Ill second that! -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to keep it as focused as possible to minimise cost So it will be a small but cool collection Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted July 29, 2014 Share #30 Posted July 29, 2014 It would look pretty nice if you had all the D-Day division patches all framed together. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted August 1, 2014 Share #31 Posted August 1, 2014 I just recently started collecting patches but can't find much besides the common ones(Which I already have) and have been just collecting the ones I need with the help of a booklet a forum member kindly gave. I usually buy them cheap and luckily a vendor at my hunting grounds had a BUNCH of patches and I bought about 20 which increased my Patch Collection dearly.

When I acquire the patches and DUIs I need, I will endeavour to post some pics I just recently started collecting patches but can't find much besides the common ones(Which I already have) and have been just collecting the ones I need with the help of a booklet a forum member kindly gave.

Yeah, but searching for them is half the fun though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldWarPatches Posted August 1, 2014 Share #33 Posted August 1, 2014 You should go hog rump wild and get every patch from every branch and every variation. 6 lifetimes from now & a few million bucks you will have them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
