chcole1 Posted February 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2015 I have never seen one of this color. Would it be a quartermaster patch or something else? Any ideas? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17thairborne Posted February 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 15, 2015 Its hard to tell from the image if it has been bleached or faded. If it has not, then the color is "close" to the QM corps. but the real color "buff" is more of a tan than the patch suggests. I am seeing some sort of "stain" on the lower right touching the risers, or it might be a shadow. Without looking at it first hand its hard to tell. Camera flashes and scanner bulbs tend to change the true color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcole1 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted February 21, 2015 I finally ordered mine the other day. I can't wait to hear my wife complain about why I need yet another reference book. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted February 24, 2015 Share #11 Posted February 24, 2015 I received it today and am completely happy with it. I would have been happier at a $100 less or so but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
