ehrentitle Posted January 2, 2011 Share #26 Posted January 2, 2011 I collect both color and subdued NG State Headquarters patches. Even though the color patch is more eye catching, the subdued patch is more significant to me as it was that one most commonly worn on a day to day basis by Soldiers.

Bluehawk Posted January 2, 2011 Share #27 Posted January 2, 2011 Well, there's always State Guard! Beautiful collection! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robswashashore Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share #28 Posted January 3, 2011 Nice patches! :bravo: I have noticed that someone is selling off alot of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) patches on eBay.Some are very cool,I believe each state has one,and I was tempted to start bidding,but...well,maybe later,I have too many obsessions as it is right now! I agree about the CAP patches -- they are cool, and I have seen quite a few at the local Army Navy, but my gosh, this addiction has to stop SOMEWHERE... .......right?....

The other day,I came upon an older Oregon subdued in my riflings through the patch box at the local Army-Navy (The one with the beaver standing in front of the state capitol building; which, frankly, I prefer to the newer one!) PM me your addy and you can have it if you still need one. Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW4AFB Posted February 5, 2011 Share #35 Posted February 5, 2011 Oooops! thanks for the Heads up, Al!!! Jean sorry for the long delay but took longer than I expected to find it. Heres the info: Its called National Guard Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and it was done by the Government Printing Office 1987-J174-189. I'll try to take a picture somehow---its pretty big---nonetheless, some of the guys here that are in Guard units should be able to find you a copy in one of their Armories---I seem to remember seeing it everywhere and like most Army/USMC posters , we always got more than we could use so they were rolled up and stashed in every training room, NBC room, signal cage etc...

Custermen Posted February 5, 2011 Share #36 Posted February 5, 2011 My first thought for another collection was CAP patches. They do look cool. But I wasn't sure if they were considered US Militaria in this forum. Nice collection. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al I have this poster and it's a nice one, but not a good identification guide for newer patches since it's nearly 25 years old. Several state patches have changed in that time.

I do have the older Oregon subdued patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrahistorian Posted April 11, 2011 Share #43 Posted April 11, 2011 Oh no, there's more than50?????? I'll have to get a bigger board! Yep, there are 54 STARC (STate ARea Command) patches total. You could always start on variants thereof, or obsolete STARC patches, or National Guard divisional or brigade patches too! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
