Proud Kraut Posted December 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2014 Offered in a total wrong section (housewares) of a local online advertising journal my wife found a box of assorted insignia incidentally. Although I quit collecting patches a while ago I've had much fun while going through the box sorting and trying to ID the unknown ones. I think I still need a little help here, since I never was in collecting Air Force patches and found several of them in the box. So this is what I found among other things under the christmas tree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted January 2, 2015 Share #21 Posted January 2, 2015 They look like unfinished badges, no pins or enameling.I would say the are shirt badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemesa159 Posted January 8, 2015 Share #22 Posted January 8, 2015 #3... top right... if memory serves, that is worn by German civilians (similar to our GS employees) who work for the Security Forces Squadrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
