36-tex Posted June 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2018 Picked up this WWI jacket with this SSI on it. Branch collar insignia is for the signal corps. Any idea what unit this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBUSMC Posted June 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 12, 2018 No one answered yet. It would be 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. (blue diamond) Problem here is that it appears to be on an Army signal corps jacket? Probably added. Semper Fi - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Scott Posted June 12, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 12, 2018 36-tex is the Indian Head stenciled or how it it made.I have never seen a 2nd division or a 2nd Division Marine that looks quite like that one.You could PM Eric Queen and get his thoughts on it.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted June 12, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 12, 2018 Not that anything isn't possible but I have never seen a second division patch without a star (that I can recall) and have never seen an Indian head like that (not that I have seen it all by any means). Looks commercial/non-military to me. A 2nd Division patch on a blue diamond on an Army uniform could be possible though. The patch designation was reassigned from 3rd Bn. 6th Marines to 3rd Bn. 20th Inf. Regiment is September of 1920. Most of those patches that I have seen were ME (on white stars) though. Strange. Would like to see a better (closer, clearer) photo of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-tex Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted June 12, 2018 Thank you all for your replies! This jacket should be in my hands this Thursday. I will post better pictures at that time. The vet was from OK is about all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
