Came in second on an auction years ago and it suddenly popped up earlier this year when the buyer needed immediate cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy Marty has about 7 to 8 dozen Hawaiian Division/Department athletic patches in his holdings with several being in pennant format while others were clearly for athletic sweaters, tank tops, boxers, etc... others were presentation awards and had shield shapes typically incorporating the posts name, Honolulu and or Hawaii.

tredhed2 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted April 21, 2021 The units assigned to 7th Mechanized Brigade - the forerunner of all the armored divisions in WW 2 and later - all had their own patches. Here are a couple. Note - the 1s Cav Regt patch w/ the red "1" is the ONLY way they were made. If you see one w/ not only a different style but a black "1", it's made for collectors. The so-called "zig-zag weave" (embr) of the 47th Engr Troop (Mech) is the only way these patches were made - not embr to wool like the 1st Cav Regt. The zig-zag weaves exist for the 5ht Med Troop (Mech), 5th QM Co (Mech) and 19th Ord Troop, The 4th and 5th were only made in the zig-zag style.

kiaiokalewa Posted July 5, 2021 Share #19 Posted July 5, 2021 Okay, here's what Dave is talking about. Authentic 1st Cavalry Mechanized vs. the reproductions aka: FAKES!!! ALSO NOTE THE DIFFERENCE IN MATERIAL BACK GROUND COLOR SHADE OF ORANGE vs. LIGHT YELLOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaiokalewa Posted July 5, 2021 Share #20 Posted July 5, 2021 Here's the whole series that are REPRODUCTIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaiokalewa Posted July 5, 2021 Share #21 Posted July 5, 2021 In focus REPRODUCTION of 4th Medical Troop. The authentic and worn examples were the aka: "Waffle" weaved pattern. The 47th Engineer Squadron patch is shown here as an example of this pattern style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaiokalewa Posted July 5, 2021 Share #22 Posted July 5, 2021 What came first "the Chicken or the Egg"? The 68th FA Mech wore numeral vs. non-numeraled Shoulder Insignia but why? Obviously, they were not manufactured at the same time but it's likely the numerals came at a later date and possibly for demonstration reasons while conducting formal exhibitions. Another key observation that can be readily made is that the numeraled Shoulder Insignia have "Fatty" cannons where the non-numeral examples are skinny canons.

kiaiokalewa Posted July 22, 2021 Share #23 Posted July 22, 2021 Corps patches are tough to find especially the Organized Reserve ones. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiaiokalewa Posted August 4, 2021 Share #25 Posted August 4, 2021 The interwar arena is turning into a zoo out there. Personally, I wouldn't touch any of these with a ten foot pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
