Attached is a CS buckle that I recently picked up in a large collection of military items.  I know next to nothing about Civil War items but from looking at some CS buckle posts, it seems that they’re all fakes/repros, often meant to deceive.  That being the case, I assume this is a repro too but I want to make sure before I part with it as a repro.  Any thoughts would be appreciated!    

I found a fairly decent one (no sheath) today at a pawn shop with a bunch of other knives some lady brought in.   Other than the tubular Jewell sheath did they make a more traditional sheath for them? I seem to remember that they did but it could have been something homemade that i saw.   If so could someone post a pic.   Top to bottom: German made M1909 Argentine Artillery Short Sword with matching scabbard and proper frog. India .mil-Proofed Kukri...D D 1964 Swedish (P. Holmberg) knife....Silver-plated steel sheath/handle. Swedish Eric Frost Mora Dress Dagger. US LF&C 1917 Trench Knife. I gave $225.00 for the lot.            

I'm sorry to necropost, but was anything else found out about this patch? I am the unit historian of the 341st Engineer Company, which is the company the 1383rd became after WW2. This post is the only record I can find of the existence of this patch (although I have very few records on anything and have quite a bit of work cut out for me). I assume it is a pocket patch since it represents such a small unit. On the veteran's uniform he wears an 8th Army Patch.

137th Infantry Brigade! 35th Division...   https://stewartsmilitaryantiques.com/us-wwi-m1917-doughboy-helmet-35th-division-137th-infy-brigade.51262.archive.htm   Same as your Great Great Uncles Helmet!   If you really want to know about your Relatives service... Maybe AZNATION The acclaimed humble, forum history Wizard will see this and take a look for you? Is Stewarts wrong? Could be.. because most of what I find on the forum ID'S the symbol as @Blacksmith said.. 139th

If it helps, he was from Detroit Lakes, MN! Wow I can’t believe how fast y'all get on these and I love it! Keep the comment coming!

I believe one yellow quadrant is the 139th, but one of our ASMIC friends will be along soon…

35th Division.  I believe the colors may indicate 137th Infantry Regiment.  Perhaps someone can confirm.
