kiaiokalewa Posted September 19, 2023 Share #79 Posted September 19, 2023 Some real rarities in the batch of athletics. In the collection is a G.O. memorandum poster illustrating a 27th Inf Regt athletic patch that authorized the official local use of such patches. I found it on Ebay probably 25 maybe getting even close to 30 years ago. I'll post it when I pull it out and take a pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiaiokalewa Posted December 14, 2023 Share #82 Posted December 14, 2023 On 1/21/2022 at 9:01 PM, kiaiokalewa said: The elusive 95th Division multi branch series patch for Infantry. This example is 1000% authentic. Tough to determine from only the front as this appears just like the many, many reproduction out there. The addition of the dual chain stitch bobbin thread backing seals the deal here. Out of 10 bids I was number 9. The OQMG spefication on the diameter of this short lived series is rather small and if I can recall correctly is at 2 7/8" making it one of the smaller shoulder insignia of the era. I wonder how long the 35th Division rocked their unit specific patches after WWI. Here we have an excellent 139th Infantry Regiment patch that was undoubtedly made around the same time frame as the 95th Division's series. And perhaps by the same a regional manufacturer. The chainstitched pick-up bobin thread isn't commonly found on interwar period made patches but I've seen several in the 35th Division's realm.

Would love to get my grubby hands on one of these. XI and XII Corps uniforms in the collection. Close up on the XI Corps patch. Nearly 30 plus years passed before this one flew into the coop. The XIII Corps, had jurisdiction over Organized Reserve unit within Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
