      . Television film 2015   Last night watching an episode of ' Foyles War ' titled High Castle made in 2015 it was evident that several copies of the Nuremberg War trials patch had been made for the production, these would have probably been sold off at the end of filming and possibly out there muddying the waters amongst the collectors market . . . .    Several years ago the BBC also did a doc-drama connected to the Nuremberg trials but I can't recall the title, the uniforms were particularly poor representations using post war Dutch chocolate jackets and post war European clones of the M1 helmet.  I can't recall what patches were evident.          regards lewis    ...

      Hello, that's right, I think it's practically impossible to know the actual manufacturing period of these Ranger patches.   Even if they were made during that era and were intended to fill a Patch King/Hobby Guild album. The D-Day period is generating a lot of interest, and patches are part of that enthusiasm.   I'm happy with patches that are accurate, made during WWII, and early ones if available. Today, prices are very high, and I'm looking for the most original ones possible at an attractive price. When possible.    I admit that the theme of my small collection is largely based on this period.   Thank you for your comments and advice on this post.👍   Best regards, Jo

      First of all, that sounds like a fascinating project! Maybe you could make a post on it in the movie section or somewhere like that :) Concerning your question: You can sell them, but you should state, that they are put-together, but that everything (?) is an original item on its own. The danger there is, that they might turn up as originals further down the line, when people with malintent got their hands on them. So it might be best to remove the insignia, that you added, and sell it seperately. But that's just my suggestion as I think, that that would prevent your put-togethers from being sold as originals further down the line, when 5 people have bought it since the first buyer, who acquired it from you (provenance will have gotten blurry by that point) :) Hope, this makes sense. :))   Kind regards, Jules

      Hi Team   The blue flame was modified by TIOH 14 Nov 1956 see below TIOH cards and specs.   Note dates on TIOH cards.   Also shown US Army Counter Intelligence Corp 1946 and 1950-1961 DUI with red flames   Hopefully  that clarify's the change.   cheers   Phill

      Colonel Charles H. Reed  in a pre overseas portrait when he was the Commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment wearing an Expert Badge, got a WW Victory Ribbon there as he was in West Point when the war was on, starts West Point in September 1918 and graduates 1922 . Later Reed becomes the  Commander of 2nd Cavalry Group (Mecz), On 15 September 1944 Reed was wounded in the heavy fighting at Lunéville in Lorraine,  one of his Squadrons takes heavy losses, the 42nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, so bad was it that the Squadron C.O. himself, Major James H. Pitman is Killed in Action.   Recovered from his wound, Reed later goes on to fame  to rescue the Lipizzaner horses in Operation Cowboy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cowboy

      If he was enlisted, I would think he would be eligible for a US Navy Good Conduct Medal also. You can post a want ad down at the bottom of the forum.
