Interesting.   I hope the contractor still got paid.     

Here's a lucky find, and a curious one, a box of 6th Infantry Division patches that are dated September 1968, made around two moths after the division was inactivated. We guess a contract went out sometime in the fall of 1967 to start making this division patch again, and despite the division  no longer was around, company and or companies kept making then till the contract ran out,   Would love to knew if a contract went out in lates-sh 1967 to make subdued versions of this 6th Div patch on Twill or Sateen, we imagine, OD Star with a Black Border or the typical period variant  of OD main patch with OD Border.

That's a nice piece of trench art with a story to boot!  I agree with aznation that the "S.F." was related to the compass manufacturer. Thanks for showing us this.     Steve

I agree. Likely an old collection.    Wade

Thanks guys, lots of variations.  Can't imagine one guy having so many different ones, so I assume it was someone's collection.  The necklace really drew me to the lot.

Great necklace. Neat lot Ken.  

Officer caps are different than the enlisted pattern. Yes, the badge was an eagle.

Though this was not at a garage sale necessarily. It did come out of a garage but was from a tip from a friend.  and yes, I do pick it up and it was named to a raider!

Beautiful work! It looks like he did a great job with it.
