Help please- 6th Armored Cav ?

[Sarge8]

I think this a 6th Armored Cav SSI. May have been brought home by my ANC mother-in-law.

 

What do you think? Locally made in ETO or UK? Approx. value?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

6th Cavalry Regiment. Just a wild guess but I'd say German made. Value maybe $35- $45

In my experience, chain-stitched examples were made in Belgium.

 

Further, this is for 6th Cav Gp/Regt. It was not redesignated ACR until Nov 1948.

Thanks for the responses everyone. She was with the 107th EVAC. They landed in Normandy Jul 1944 and earned 5 campaign stars. She brought home a bunch of patches, and put them on a hand made quilt made from red and white bandage material in the '80s. We used to display it at their reunions. They were in Northern Ireland, Wales, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

Checked the quilt she made and found a second one, slightly different.
