normaninvasion Posted October 2, 2018 Share #52 Posted October 2, 2018 Coolest find I've seen in awhile! Thanks for sharing. Any more info about the prof and what happened to the students? Would make for an interesting research project and article. Not everyday you can add names to a patch. They all have a story to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortaydc60 Posted October 2, 2018 Share #55 Posted October 2, 2018 Exceptional find. Agree with Dave on Sugamo pieces. Question the 1st Phil Recon patch as it is not a known variation atleast to me; otherwise just great. Mort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAW Posted October 2, 2018 Share #56 Posted October 2, 2018 I don't get overly excited about patches too often, but this is exceptional. A great time capsule and a nice variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted October 2, 2018 Share #57 Posted October 2, 2018 Congratulations on a terrific find. The patches are great but with the names of the men that wore them it makes them truly special. That would be a huge but great research project to try and find out about each of those men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbolinger Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share #60 Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks guys super happy i got it, Most of my friends say i should part the album out but i really think for now i should just leave it as it is, the mans name was Professor F.N. Newton he was a teacher at Sharon High School in Sharon Pennsylvania . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 3, 2018 Share #61 Posted October 3, 2018 The 34th Div is mounted backwards. woven Italian made. this below from the 34th's shoulder patch reference topic, I hope the patch is not glued on, that means the face of it will be damaged probably if you try to remove it.

BILL THE PATCH Posted October 4, 2018 Share #63 Posted October 4, 2018 Yes keep it together, i doubt anything like this will turn up again for awhile at least. It but tells a bigger story then the patches parted out. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted October 4, 2018 Share #64 Posted October 4, 2018 I would say to keep it together as well. I carefully disassembled my Patch King album and stored the pages in acid free magazine sized sleeves with backboards. This way I could look at them without disturbing the pages themselves and it will preserve the pages in the long run. Just an idea. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
