Jim Baker Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share #277 Posted October 7, 2010 I think all I have is the German made already shown. I believe Tredhed has several shown throughout the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeper704 Posted October 31, 2010 Share #279 Posted October 31, 2010 Some new items ....Photo postcard, apparantly made for this officer's mother (Lulu).Taken May 23, 1945 in Brussels, Belgium.It seems he has "combat leader patches" on his shoulder boards.This TD patch came with the photo and apparently was removed from a shirt or jacket.Finally got a set (after looking for several years) !Dogtags and TD patch from a member of the 817th TD Bn.The chain has a "Lourdes" medallion, a ring (stone is missing), a TD medallion and another medallion on it.The patch is supposedly also from this soldier.And this one is on its way to my TD collection too ....Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted November 1, 2010 Share #280 Posted November 1, 2010 Last newest addition ...Introduction to Camp Hood.Printed in 1944.The picture was inside this booklet.Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted November 1, 2010 Share #281 Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks, Jim. Yeah, I got a little luck as the price didn't get too high this time ( ergo not higher than I was prepared to pay for it). The dogtags are great with the additional items hanging on them. I already have gathered some information on the soldier and the 817th TD Bn. A nice research project. It is amazing how one can look and look for quite some time for particular items and finds nothing. Then suddenly ... like an avalanche, one falls on one at another. I'm just happy that I could add these things to my TD collection. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share #282 Posted November 26, 2010 A small (and I mean small) addition to the TD collection. I don't nomally go for anything in TD stuff but patches and manuals, but the detail on this lapel pin got my attention. It's smaller than a penny and was actually difficult to photograph. It looks much better in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_redcatcher Posted November 26, 2010 Share #283 Posted November 26, 2010 This I am selling on Ebay now with a buddy of mine so I better post a photo of it before it leaves my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted November 26, 2010 Share #284 Posted November 26, 2010 Nothing big, but still interesting enough to post ... a 4 wheeler with a slightly off centered face. And a damaged "Kitty" ... Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeper704 Posted May 15, 2011 Share #290 Posted May 15, 2011 Re-arranged the patch collection a bit ... I will be adding some more TD patches (hopefully variations, etc). Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share #291 Posted May 21, 2011 Why I'm not a fan of leaving the threads in used patches. I picked up these sweet little 802nd TD DUI's from a forum member. The first photo is what I got and the second is after they were "cleaned up". I think it's makes a huge difference removing the threads. Besides, the threads add nothing historically. Unless you're into thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted May 22, 2011 Share #292 Posted May 22, 2011 Here is a small group of TD insignia I managed to purchase recently. The TD patch in the middle has some red thread added on its eye. The 9th ID patch was an extra. I believe the TD collar discs are British-made (the disc is marked "Ltd."). Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarhooten Posted June 17, 2011 Share #293 Posted June 17, 2011 Not really an insignia or patch, but just as neat anyhow! Has a pic of the TD patch on it! First time i have heard of the "Official" music of the Tank Destroyers! Adopted in 1944 so i guess it wasn't used to long! Enjoy! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeper704 Posted October 22, 2011 Share #299 Posted October 22, 2011 I'm curious about the domed TD collar disc. Didn't know they existed. And those are some really sweet eh sweetheart pins as well. Sure wish I could find a few like those. Thanks for posting them. @Jim; update on the TD paperwork? Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vostoktrading Posted October 23, 2011 Share #300 Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks Jim & Erwin. I've seen domed enlisted TD discs a few times over the years. It's odd because I always understood that domed discs came after WW2 (into the 1950's?) and yet the Tank Destroyers were abolished by then. I guess perhaps some of the manufacturers kept on making them? The sweetheart pins are made of wood. I remember I bought them from someone at the Louisville SOS a number of years ago. I wish I got more. I haven't seen these pop up since. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
