No “Fond” Memories of that!!   Bill

Welcome and thanks for sharing.

ebay sold items should give you a good idea of its value today. The ones from the 60's in size large and bigger get more a good deal more money. Ones in condition like this are also a big plus.

It's a Mod. 1912 updated to the Mod. 1917 standard. I think. I own two examples that have this deficiency.  

Can;t say I've ever seen or heard of the right shoulder patch.  Very cool.  

Technically UNIS marked. Nice Seabag to a member of the 1st raider battalion who then later transferred to the 3rdMarDiv. Where He was WIA in Guam. He served with the C Co. on Guadalcanal. This was a garret find from a friend’s grandmas Neighbor in the San Diego area.

Welcome to the Forum. 

That's a great find...!

. Visiting my new grand-daughter and friends last week.   Last week I nipped across to the UK to visit my daughter and my new grand-daughter born last month, While there I visited long time Jeeping friends in Dorset, we visited Swanage railway station and took the opportunity for a Then and Now photo of the station when a British Bren Gun Carrier was parked outside the station during WWII     Shown is a brown and cream traditional British Railways enamelled sign these were colloquially known as a hot-dog style of sign.   The rail-line is now operated as a museum style organisation with visitors paying for rides back and forth on the line by either vintage steam driven engines or diesel driven engines.  While there I had the opportunity to have made a couple of copies of the tradition enamelled made signs, one for my grandson William and one for my garage.                    Norman D.

Hello all,   I'm Dan and I work in Omaha. I'm a DOW CIV and spouse of a USN retiree. I collect patches and I try to learn the history or function of the unit. Typically I don't collect a patch because it looks cool, but that never hurts 😂.    My focus is STRATCOM and the Triad chain, COCOMS, and local units. Here are some of my STRATCOM patches.
