Hello Gentlemen,

 

Does this one look ok to you? I liked it, it is a little knackered, but I want to be sure.

 

Thank you for your thoughts and assistance!

Jerry

It kind of reminds me of this reproduction. But I'm not an expert, but someone aged it with some dirt...

lets hear others....yours could be good...comparing yours has more detail...

If the star does not appear to be re-applied, then what you have is a real 1920's 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment SSI. The Marines were gone from the Division by July of 1919. The colored patches were used up to about 1925. Bill

I do not think the patch is an original. The Indianhead that you have there is normally associated with a little later time period than immediate post WWI. I also do not like the yellow felt. It looks like more modern felt than WWI vintage material.
