Green, white, blue for 29th even, occasionally you’ll see black, usually machine stitched, but sometimes you see uniforms with nice hand stitched patterns. -

I believe the blue patch was a swim patch for the installation's officer club's swimming pool. It appeared in a past ASMIC's Trading Post. -

Hey guys I just picked this up the other day. Super nice, only two small moth holes. Tag shows manufacture date of 1941. I’ve been wanting to make a 29th Infantry div uniform. This is my started point. Any ideas in color thread I should use to attach SSI? -

Thanks for the input! I've got a few sets of the Sarco scales and they don't fit SA or RIA without sanding, and I always thought the shiny, brighter color looks off. I believe I read awhile back in Gary Cunningham's bayo points that they were made of Walnut or Black Walnut, which is a darker wood than those look with just something like linseed oil applied. I would try to get a decent original set (which I'd like to & plan on anyway for my collection) to study the actual design & angles up close and hand fit to at least one of my actual SA or RIA. It will just be a hobby and not mass produced.. Unless it could actually turn into full time.. That's a higher price than i was thinking as a hobby with very minimal costs. I will probably just stamp the insides and make them look original. I had considered that, but it would still be a shame for someone to overpay on an auction site for something misrepresented. Especially in Greek returns, it's easy to get wrong, damaged, or mismatched bakelite or plastic grips on the early ones, that don't fit right. Like the picture of Italian wood I posted, they look kinda nice, but there's still an ugly gap. Thanks again! -
