(I’ve done something weird on my computer obviously, since my pictures are suddenly appearing as much smaller than my earlier ones. Time to ask one of my grandkids to give me some IT support!)

Apologies for the above pic in Post #368. I had that in my photo ‘album’ and thought it was mine image. But, here’s the armband and associated photo I have:

I don’t recall if I got the picture in Post # 368 from the Internet or this Forum.

In my earlier Post, above, the last sentence was referring to Post # 388, not # 368. (Duh, on my part.)
 

Curiously, given the traditional Marine Corps colors, this is an Army armband used in Naha, Okinawa, Japan in the 1960’s:

Thanks, jmd62 and Gijoe1987! Many states formed home defense units of various types when their State National Guard units were activated.

Do you know if this was Maryland? I only ask because there was one on eBay today that looked identical and they stated it was from Maryland 1942. Also any idea of its value? I’m considering buying the one from eBay its just so cool.

Hi Gijoe1987. Yep, it is definitely Maryland. As I noted above the organization was formed in 1942. I don't have an end date for it, unfortunately. Good hunting on eBay! Here’s an Army motor maintenance one:
