Fratlanta Posted September 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2021 From what I read here and there, it seems like you can determine locations by the color of the middle R on a Railhead Regulating Station patch. I actually got a patch with a golden/yellow lozenge with what seems to be a white (maybe yellowish) capital R and was wondering what location that would indicate. Based on some preliminary research it could be "Montierchaume" or maybe "Issoudun", two small towns in France. Could someone confirm? thanks for your help.

tredhed2 Posted September 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2021 if u were an ASMIC member, you would know your info is only partially correct. There have been several articles describing and depicting know Railhead/Regulating stations. It is both the letter color and border color that give you unit info. Neither of your little villes is listed in any of the articles. By your description, you may have a damaged patch. Please provide pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratlanta Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted September 10, 2021 Here you go. the outside diamond look golden but might have been red at one point . it also worth noting that the jacket was tailored in Chateauroux, a city only few miles away from Montierchaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
