Military_Curator Posted May 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2020 Hey all, This is a new set that came in today, a set of Japanese made 70th Tank Battalion. The 70th Tank Battalion served under the 1st Cavalry Division in Korea. No markings on the reverse. Parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military_Curator Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 19, 2020 Set of 1st Cav Division DUIS. This set is screw back and are Japanese made. Sadly, the left DUI’s nut is wallowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military_Curator Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 19, 2020 Last one for today, this is a theatre made 1st Medical Squadron DUI with a screw post backing. The photo doesn’t do it justice as the red side is beautiful, especially in sunlight. While not a DUI, I thought this rare quilted patch of the squadron would be nice to show with it.

Military_Curator Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 19, 2020 This is a NS Meyer produced 8th Engineers DUI with a broach back. The only major flaw is some damage to a horseshoe on the front but besides that a beautiful example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted May 19, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 19, 2020 Your US made DIs proves again they just don't make 'em like that any more - the tr red enamel and die work is still attractive. The Japanese made PTC are sharp enough to be used as guitar picks. Nice tr green enamel on the 70ths. Your quilted patch is gorgeous. Thanks for showing all.

I agree, the Japanese made DUIs are of great quality. The matching set of 70th Tank Battalion DUIs are some of my favorites, however the next DUI of the same unit is not as nice...

Military_Curator Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted May 19, 2020 Another Japanese made 70th Tank Battalion. This one is not enamel, rather it features lime green paint. The color is not my favorite but to each their own. No markings on the back, however, there is some tarnish on the top left corner of the rim and reverse.

Military_Curator Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted May 22, 2020 This is a Japanese made 1st Cav DUI with a beautiful yellow enamel. I thought I’d also showcase a Japanese made 1st Cav patch beside it. The main body is made of silk, with black felt and a gold bullion border.

Military_Curator Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted May 23, 2020 This one is a bit different from the typical 1st Cav DUI. This DUI is on a M-1951 Pile cap which has been customized (the whole brim and ear covers have been sewn together on top, encasing the OD fabric minus a bald spot in the back). It is made from scrap metal and painted. Note how the horse head is mirrored on to the incorrect side. I have included photos of the DUI alone and of the actual cap.

Military_Curator Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted May 23, 2020 Set of 1st Cav DUIs from the 1960’s occupation of Korea. These are from the Honest John rocket batteries attracted to the division. They are Japanese made and have no major flaws minus some slight discoloration. Ive included a photo of an Honest John.

patches Posted July 18, 2020 Share #19 Posted July 18, 2020 Great stuff there. Here's a topic that you may not of seen yet, this that shows a lot of Cav Leadership style Loops from Japan/South Korea, though some are not essentially leadership loops in some cases, as those re supposed to be Green.

Military_Curator Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share #23 Posted August 10, 2020 A better look of a previously posted 1st Cav DUI. It may not look it but I promise that this is different than one above it lol! This is larger by a few 1/10’s of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 10, 2020 Share #25 Posted August 10, 2020 If I may add this, a photo of Unauthorized Japanese Made 70th Tank Battalion DIs in use. Seanmc1114 originally posted it, I shopped it out to get an ID cause we were stumped on what it was for, and iIin1979 IDed it. 70th Tk Bn initially attached to the Cav, think starting in August 1950, it's assigned permanently or officially in November 1951. Unknown though where photo was taken, could be in Japan on R&R summer of 51? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
