vintageproductions Posted April 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2015 Got a call during the week to drive about 100 miles south to see some items this gentleman's father brought home during WWII. His father worked at a separation center at the end of the war. These pics are just the highlights as there are about 700 more patches, but all what I consider commons. A bag of German bring backs, some Japanese items, a few other bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted April 13, 2015 Share #12 Posted April 13, 2015 Untouched piles of 700 patches dating back to WWII are going to become fewer and fewer. Nice score! I'm sure something there will pay for your gas and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
