anton67 Posted May 28, 2023 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2023 Picked up these patches along with the buttons and insignia today. I know its a patch section so you can disregard the Kennedy patches. Please help ID. Some are tank and airborne and others I really have no idea. I do not primarily collect patches. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share #2 Posted May 28, 2023 The one crossed arrow is unmarked. The other IS marked NS Meyer, Inc NY. I believe that is what it says as I needed a jeweler's loupe to read. The Lt bars are marked Should R Form, NS Meyer, Inc also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton67 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted May 28, 2023 Thank you for your help. Are the Armored division patches the only REPROs that you can see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted May 28, 2023 Also do you have an idea when the REPRO armored patches were produced? 1950s maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they look more modern than the 50s as the sewing from the back on the cannons looks computer guided to me or of more modern sewing stitch. Also the thread maybe more synthetic or nylon based but hard to tell in the photos and with out a burn test of a loose thread. As Dave mentioned 70s or even later just from my view.

Randy Posted May 29, 2023 Share #7 Posted May 29, 2023 Actually, the 334th is Tactical Fighter era, circa 70s to early 80s. For whatever reason, they never used "Tactical" on their patches. The 326th MAS is Military Airlift Sq, same timeframe as the 334th TFS. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
