WorldWarPatches Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Short Snorter 158th Bushmaster with 2 Native American Scouts signatures that both went on to be Alamo Scouts. The bill and patch belonged to Anthony J Ortiz. Next to his signature is "Tiny" Largo who is actualy Theodore T Largo. Both of the two were members of the Thompson Team and also Code Talkers. 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

Eric Queen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I realize these patches are supposed to be rare (440 made?) but it seems like I have seen at least 10 real ones for sale in the last month. Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Scott Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Eric I think there were a lot more than 440 made I have owned at least 25-30 US made ones.The theater made ones are a lot rarer than the US made ones.Scotty Link to post Share on other sites
BILL THE PATCH Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I wonder if someone might be sitting on a small batch, would be nice Link to post Share on other sites
WorldWarPatches Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Most patch runs were 200, 400, 500 and so on. I think more than 440 were made. 440 might be the # that was delivered. There are quite a few good patches showing up. I have been offered 3 big collections from aging long time collectors that say family members have no interst in their collections. One is over 15,000 patches. I'll get it if I can mortgage the house, car and the Harley. 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
