GatorDoc Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted July 2, 2020 Thank you. I had a tough time finding this. His other uniforms had various other patches including a ruptured duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookemhorns88 Posted July 2, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2020 The blue, gold , and red round patch is the Replacement and School Command patch. The Replacement and School Command was established in conjunction with the early WWII Army reorganization and was activated on March 27, 1942, with headquarters at Birmingham, Alabama. Its mission was to supervise the operation of schools and replacement training centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted July 2, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2020 All these shirts are from one man? May we see these shirts in full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorDoc Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted July 2, 2020 Patches, These were complete uniforms with pants/shirts and service coats in a shop in West Virginia. Probably should have bought them but I am very new to this area of collecting. Interestingly, these uniforms were also on the same rack. Looks like he may have been the real deal. Lots of the SF uniforms but all name patches had been removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted July 2, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 2, 2020 How much are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorDoc Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted July 2, 2020 Around $20 per set on average. Some cheaper, some a little more. Cheapest was $5, most expensive was around $35. I checked all the pockets.....nothing. Was hoping for a name on the SF stuff. The older khaki uniforms were stamped with the guys name and service number. When I head back through next week, if its open I will get some better pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
