roadrunner Posted May 13, 2012 Share #27 Posted May 13, 2012 Hello Here is a picture of General Creighton W. Abrams. All the items (rank, collar, ribbons, unit citations) are handembroidered and I think the General Staff ID badge also is a handembroidered item ?!

roadrunner Posted October 12, 2013 Share #33 Posted October 12, 2013 Hello I'm always fascinated when I find handembroidered General Staff badges. "Grouping of items attributed to Lieutenant General Milton G. Baker (1896-1976), founder of Valley Forge Military Academy. Items include 2 staff badges, bullion shoulder boards, cap eagle, 8 pins, British Order CBE, British Order neck ribbon, and a 1977 booklet of Valley Forge Military Academy. This lot has a reserve." But I can't by a lot like this only for the ID badges I'm interested in. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
