Brig Posted March 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2007 USMC Quarter Master recently had this on eBay...what can you guys tell me about it? I was hoping some of our Paramarine collectors would have a few in their collection and know a thing or two about such. All the strikers in my collection are embroidered but the backing isn't like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLM Posted March 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2007 Hey Brig, Nothing wrong with that one. Looks like a nice early war example with green bobbin thread reverse and cheesecloth backing. I imagine it went for a pretty penny. Did you follow it until the end of auction? BTW - Unlike early war Army patches, any WWII USMC SSI, striker, flash, etc. is considered very scarce with this green bobbin thread reverse. Here is another "green back" I thought you'd appreciate. The early war, unauthorized 2nd Marine Division, embroidered on twill. Semper fi, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a nice early one! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
