BagmanL6 Posted May 30, 2018 Share #27 Posted May 30, 2018 That's great Eric. Glad to see he came back to your offer. I think most people do when they're treated fairly like I'm sure you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendevilsix Posted May 31, 2018 Share #29 Posted May 31, 2018 Mason, This is truly a fine collection, congratulations on the acquisition! I would offer one suggestion which is to take the Black and Yellow AIRBORNE Tab from the Anti-Aircraft Command patch and put it over the 17th Airborne Division. A Blue and White AIRBORNE Tab was worn over the Anti-Aircraft Command patch by some units. Kind Regards, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Rally Posted May 31, 2018 Share #30 Posted May 31, 2018 That is fantastic! I had this same thing happen a few months ago with navy rating badges, DMs and SSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Blue and White AIRBORNE Tab was worn over the Anti-Aircraft Command patch by some units. Kind Regards, Jim Thanks, Jim! I had a spare, larger black and yellow AB tab to use on the 17th AB insignia. I wound up using the Blue and White tab on the XVIII AB Corps patch as it was a better fit. I was using the Pete Morgan's US Military Patch Guide as a reference, and on their example (see below) they used the Black and Yellow tab over the AA Cmd patch. Didn't have an example with the AB tab, so thought I would go that route. Wasn't aware the Blue and White tab was also used. Any reason for the different tab colors other than aesthetics?

MasonK Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share #44 Posted June 5, 2018 Nice bullion 71st Division Thanks, FF! It was one of the first patches I noticed when looking over the group shot the seller provided.

Patchcollector Posted June 6, 2018 Share #45 Posted June 6, 2018 Nice selection of patches!You have some nice variations,especially the bullions.The patches are all in great shape and don't have the paper and glue on the backs that are oftentimes found on these collections.Looks like the FSSF is the "fat" variation,which is harder to find.I like the 6th Cav patch,which looks to be embellished.Overall I think that you did very well.
