reapp Posted October 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2021 Hello Forum Members, I recently acquired a boy scouts patch collection from the 1950's, and was hoping that I might get some help in ID'ing these. I am not a collector, so I dont know too much about this stuff. Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise and knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted October 21, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2021 Wings are WW2 bullion embroidered Service Pilot wings. 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment possibly post WW2. The donkey is 98th Field Artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were all patch kings, or some other form of copy, and that there were only a small handful of real examples which used different colors entirely.

Allan H. Posted October 25, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 25, 2021 Honestly, the 98th appears to me much later than WWII vintage. Most of these patches encountered are Patch King. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
