Last year I was able to win such an armband on Ebay but no one had bided against me. My armband is made on regular material. Does anyone know if the armband is still being awarded for those who max the PT test? Thanks for this rtd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted January 19, 2022 Share #407 Posted January 19, 2022 Found this little snap shot in an antique mall up in Portland, OR this past weekend. Pain digging through a bin of photos, but occasionally I get an interesting one. 503rd Airborne "The Rock", CCO ?? Jump wings on an oval. A small picture, but good color.

rd12 Posted January 29, 2022 Share #411 Posted January 29, 2022 I pulled these pics of eBay, I had seen this "Bayonet's Finest" Tab before but never knew how/why it was worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted January 29, 2022 Share #412 Posted January 29, 2022 I have a couple of versions of these, rd12. One is back on Post #237 and I have a couple of more on here. I think one was for a PIO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted January 30, 2022 Share #413 Posted January 30, 2022 A 1st Cav Div MP one, patch and Arc/Tab seem to be of the same overall material as the brassard, date worn unknown, it has as you see the mid 70s on Gold Rank pin for a Spec 4, but this could very well of been added and is not original to it.

General Apathy Posted February 21, 2022 Share #425 Posted February 21, 2022 . Hi Cobra 6, I thought I would add this 1970's shot of a recruitment NCO wearing a brassard with the recruitment patch attached. I also wanted to make mention of the blue plastic surrounds on his collar discs . . . . . Back in the early 1970's when I started collecting it was a current occurrence in the American army to wear blue plastic discs behind their collar insignia. So I was more than surprised to find an occasional 1940's jacket with the blue collar disc surrounds leading me to think that the insignia on the jacket had been messed with. It wasn't until some time later I bought a copy of a 1941 supply catalog for U.S. Forces that I spotted that Blue, Red and Yellow discs were available to U.S. Servicemen in the 1940's, I then began to believe that it was true when I saw discs on 1940 uniforms. I also began to search for wartime examples of the discs in use, and one of the best ones is the two old 1940's NCO's shown below. . . . . . . . . . ( The 1970's discs were true plastic versions, and the 1940's ones a more Celluloid version. ) So with true dedication and research the answer appeared for me . . . . . . . . . . . . regards lewis. ..
