Unknown Greenback cut-edge SQD

[love4history]

Hello everybody

 

This patch has appeared on the forum before but sofar it remains unidentified.

Cut-edge greenback no-glow so WWII era likely. Red white blue colours. SQD.  Anyone knows this patch please?

Thanks!

I am guessing it's a Quartermaster Depot.

I'm still thinking 'homefront' -->> Help with patch ID WW2 Homefront? Kids uniform? ETC? JAWAR = Junior Wardens

Thanks, both are good possibles.  I tried browsing through Trading Post but no luck yet.  I recently joined ASMIC but alas no forum  to ask the question. I guess quite a few members would be members here too though.  (?)

Whatever it is it is a rare patch 😄

I just found out that while there is no forum for ASMIC there is a FB-group so posed the question there. Will let you know if any luck and the answer is found out.

I have a record of all the units that fell under the Quartermaster General during WW2. It's from a copy of The Quartermaster Review  from late 1944. I looked for all "S"named  depots based on the idea it is from a QM Depot. Your possibilities are the San Antonio ASF Depot, Savannah ASF Depot, Schenectady ASF Depot,  and finally Seattle ASF Depot. ASF stands for Army Service Forces.

 

I collect just Quartermaster Corps items, and I'll say I've never encountered this patch before. I think the idea of it being for a QM Depot makes a lot of sense. If you're interested in selling it please let me know. I collect patches and insignia from these obscure units.

I was hoping you'd pipe in on this one Majorz. I thought for sure you would know what it was.

I have several photos of depot patches being worn, but this one is new to me.
