blkjack07 Posted October 27, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 27, 2010 That looks like the post-war chevron worn from 1951 until the gold-on-greens appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there were WWII era stripes with a dark blue back ground? Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted October 27, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 27, 2010 Is the background blue twill or is it felt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Marine Posted October 27, 2010 Share #6 Posted October 27, 2010 The blue wool felt background material is correct for WWII. The blue twill was post war. In my opinion that chevron looks fin for an Ike. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason G Posted October 27, 2010 Share #9 Posted October 27, 2010 Looks good to me. The 'twill' has an almost blue hue to it, and you can see the 'lines' in it, if that helps. They are also a thinner style of patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
