Ack-Ack26yd Posted October 19, 2014 Share #377 Posted October 19, 2014 Thinking about TD stuff again lately and thought I'd just bump this thread to see if anything comes up. I'm looking for ANY and ALL info on the 633rd Tank Destroyer Battalion in WWII. I know general info and history, but if anyone has items named/marked to that BN, photos especially, unit items, anything of that sort, I want to talk to you directly. Thanks!

Jeeper704 Posted November 15, 2014 Share #380 Posted November 15, 2014 Very nice! Here a few of mine, together with some TD association items and a subdues modern type "TD" patch. These are two greenback TD patches btw. Also a small grouping of a soldier of the 817th TD. Sorry for the lesser quality of the photo, I had to take it without flash or it would have been too bright.

Ack-Ack26yd Posted November 16, 2014 Share #381 Posted November 16, 2014 Where did you get the modern style subdued TD patch? I'd love to have one of those for fun haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortaydc60 Posted November 16, 2014 Share #382 Posted November 16, 2014 Just a thought;might be good idea to move posts from "Is it real" section on the 601 TD to this section. Add to continuity of theme. Mort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted November 16, 2014 Share #383 Posted November 16, 2014 YD, I found that subdued patch on eBay. They also have a desert camo type TD patch (which I put on my choco chip jacket ..... that will make 'em think when I have passed away, hehe).

Jim Baker Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share #385 Posted January 25, 2015 Been adding a few more paper items and recently added this to the collection courtesy of a fellow member. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnin4s Posted January 27, 2015 Share #386 Posted January 27, 2015 I wanted to share grouping I acquired recently from the son of a 801st TD veteran. Included in the group was the skull insignia worn by 801st members while serving stateside. The orange armband was believed used by the 'Red Forces' during stateside TD training maneuvers. The veteran served in the National guard and later inlisted in the Army Jan. 1941. Also in the grouping was a panoramic photo taken at Camp Sutton May 1, 1942 of company C, 801st TD battalion. The veteran later graduated from OCS at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. in April, 1943. The grouping included a few other US insignia and a couple of German medals.

Stop by my tables and say hello and check out what I hope you may think is the best patch sale display at the show,it was the best at ASMIC,MAX and OVMS. This is my first time selling at SOS so excuse the self promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share #395 Posted February 28, 2015 It's always fun to discover interesting things about our "stuff". I bought this TD manual that belonged to J.B. Gregg. Turns out he later co-authored a history of the 804th TD Bn. Not a big deal, just fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baker Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share #397 Posted April 11, 2015 A cool photo. Check out his insignia. I've seen these used as the "centers" of early lapel brass, but not worn by themselves. Until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
