ocsfollowme Posted February 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2020 Just over 1.5" in diameter. Infantry blue on twill. 1940s construction. Does not glow. Was this a cap device where rank was fashioned on it? Was this a turning blue for infantry discs? Thanks in advance. What time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted February 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2020 I seem to remember an old ASMIC "Trading Post" article about these. The blue is for infantry and they were sewn to the o/seas cap in the same manner as a parachute cap patch. Rank insignia was then pinned on top of the circular patch. They were VERY short-lived and were pre- to early WWII timeframe. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siege1863 Posted February 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 19, 2020 I believe this is an example of the armored patch worn by officers at Fort Benning in 1941. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarhooten Posted February 21, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 21, 2020 I think there are some pics from the '39 - '40 war games that shows these being used also. The pics are on the forum somewhere. I had a yellow colored disc at one time. Sold it at the last ASMIC convention in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
