mortaydc60 Posted October 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2014 Saw this listed and it looked funny to me but checked my files and it is OK. False alarm.Sorry! Mort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted October 28, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2014 The one on the left I believe is an original. The one on the right is what Mort is talking about in the concerned auction listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted October 28, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2014 Maybe it is me, but I just do not like how the one in the current auction's face is stitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted October 28, 2014 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2014 Here is another link with one that Rarepatchman posted. I am going to have to call the one on the right a bogus, non-original one. So far 4 other ones that are like the one on the left. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/211456-is-that-a-cricket-in-iron-clad-yep-check-out-this-275th-armored-artillery-patch/?hl=%2Bcricket+%2Bpatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted October 28, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 28, 2014 I would put the one in question into the category of all of the other yellow felt patches that we have seen as repros (mostly of the USMC aviator kind and squadron insignia ones) that have come out of England in the 1980s and 1990s. I'm still a learning novice, but hoping someone else will chime in on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted October 28, 2014 Share #11 Posted October 28, 2014 I am not an expert on this patch but the one on the right seems to be lacking snow on the back of the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted October 28, 2014 Share #12 Posted October 28, 2014 I have written about the 275th AFA and their patch, which included going thru the Disney Archives. The patch in question is very similar to mine, which came from a vet. I don't think the photos in the listing are helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted October 28, 2014 Share #13 Posted October 28, 2014 Tredhed2, the patch in the listing is the bogus one, that was on the right. Whomever is paying the $350 is going to be getting burned. You had it right before you edited your post. The one that Pat Quinn was selling (the one on the left), matches Scotty's and yours.
