Very cool stuff I have some hbt with same ssi 

SSI on left shoulder is the soldier's current unit of assignment. SSI on right shoulder is the soldier's unit in a designated combat or hazardous overseas duty location. While some details of the applicable Army regulation have changed, it's been essentially the practice since WW2.

Hello! Curious if anyone has an idea on the value of this insignia? Thanks!

If you’re considering buying them, don’t.    

Doughboy to GI perhaps...
