mslurvey Posted January 19, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2017 I just acquired the same patch last week but it has not been cut down. I asked Dennis if I can post it here so that everybody could see the two different versions and he said go right ahead. Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round patches such as these were made too. Dennis, Mason, Take good care of these... these are one of a kind! Beautiful pieces H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortaydc60 Posted January 20, 2017 Share #13 Posted January 20, 2017 what is the difference between this patch and the San Antonio HS ROTC patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillock Posted January 21, 2017 Share #14 Posted January 21, 2017 Mort Do you also have a scan? I believe there were 2 High Schools in San Antonio , which one are you referring too? The colours Gold and Red refer to Arizona, does one of the HS ROTC have the same colours? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillock Posted January 21, 2017 Share #16 Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Steve Yes I have seen that but which one , are we going by colour ? The main Ave does not look the same colour symbol. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 21, 2017 Share #17 Posted January 21, 2017 Main ave has the pinwheel in opposite direction too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share #18 Posted January 21, 2017 what is the difference between this patch and the San Antonio HS ROTC patch? That info is contained in the Trading Post index, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis, Mason, Take good care of these... these are one of a kind! Beautiful pieces H. Hans, The owner could have had the patch and not used it till they changed the design and then cut it down. I sold 6 round bottom WW2 90th Div. to some Tough Ombre stationed in Afghanistan a few years back, he asked me to have velcro sewn on them so they could wear them.

Every owner can do what they want with their patches. But originally they were made in that specific shape. Velcro...Really? On original WW2 patches? That's a thought... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslurvey Posted January 24, 2017 Share #23 Posted January 24, 2017 Since we are talking about pre WWII 45th ID patches here is on that is listed on EBay for BIN $315.00. Take a look at the return threads. Thoughts and comments are always appreciated. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Pre-WWII-US-45th-Infantry-Division-Style-Wool-Patch-/381934002649?hash=item58ed0a61d9:g:ol8AAOSw4DJYhUgt Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted January 24, 2017 Share #24 Posted January 24, 2017 Not 45th and seller is being cagey. The swastika is clearly white (on the back) and dirty on the front/. Broken record time again. If u use The Trading Post Index, you'll find this in the O-D 1999 issue, page 23. It was even printed in color. It's Main HS JROTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted January 24, 2017 Share #25 Posted January 24, 2017 I sent a message to the seller, and awaiting a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
