Allan H. Posted September 28, 2019 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2019 I am NOT a fan of either of them. The Rangers "3" is a fantasy piece. You can see the mesh backing coming through the backside of the patch. The Tanker diamond looks Japanese made to me (which it shouldn't be).

tredhed2 Posted September 28, 2019 Share #8 Posted September 28, 2019 The Ranger diamond with the 3 is a KW era fantasy piece. They can be found with numbers 1-15 on them, because there were 15 Ranger companies activated during the KW. Some enterprising manufacturer made these up, probably with the anticipation they would be worn (think of the WW 2 V and XVIII Armored Corps patches). These “numbered” KW era Ranger diamonds have also been reproduced by those who know even less. The numerals on these are usually of Asian origin.

tredhed2 Posted September 28, 2019 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2019 I should add that many of the Ranger companies which served in Korea wore numbered WW 2 black red and white scrolls, not these jobbers. Those not in Korea (NG CONUS or occupied Germany) wore the red black and white scrolls w/o numbers, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
