WorldWarPatches Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share #33 Posted December 6, 2014 Hello Ski, I had to agree NOT to cut them up without 1st trying to sell each one complete for 6 months. I did tell her that the next owner will not have to agree to any terms. I hope they stay intact. I'll have a blanket collection if they don't sell because I won't be cutting them up. Pat Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I would have those patches off the blanket within minutes. The blanket is post-WWII anyways. -Ski https://www.ebay.com/str/worldwarpatches If you can't stand behind our troops stand in front of them! https://www.worldwarpatches.com Link to post Share on other sites
