Grunt1SG Posted November 11, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2019 Several patches that I would like some opinions on. I think I know what they are but want to see what the guys that have been doing this think. Airborne Training Center Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt1SG Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted November 11, 2019 507th pocket patch. This is smaller than the the original that I have to compare it to. I have never seen one like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted November 11, 2019 Share #15 Posted November 11, 2019 What they meant to say was the 9th AF and 11th Abn Div are the only two period originals. The others, except for the 507th, are post WW II productions (vets and mostly collectors). The small 507th is a fantasy piece - they NEVER had/wore a small patch like that one. Search this site for real 507ths (the larger examples). If a 507th doesn't look like those in the Forum posts, then walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt1SG Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share #16 Posted November 12, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. Ya'll confirmed what I felt about most of these. I knew the 507th wasn't legit as I have a real 507th to compare it to. I had never seen one that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
