I thought that I should finally show what patches are in my small but quite nice collection , all patches which I will show are original WWII era...(I hope) so here is first set: army and corps patches: from left to right: 7th Army "seven steps to hell", 16th US army corp-ETO, US made but theater modified 15th AAC patch, originaly it was standard AAC patch but it was modified with bullion thread and 15 number has been added, Japanese post WWII made 8th army patch, 10th US army and 11th armored corp

2nd set: commands and departments- Hawaiian dept., Antilles command, Western Pacific Command patch, China Burma India

set 3-Army divisions: 11th armored div. 100th infantry div. 17th airborne division, 28th Infantry div. OD border, 94th infantry div

I like...I like...!

 

Corpsman, you have a lot of knowledge on patches

 

I made my life affirming decision about 4 days ago to get into patches

 

I come from a passion of WW2 knives and bayonets

 

I know diddly squat at present

 

So what is your approach to collecting patches?

 

Your patches look luverly BTW

set 4-USMC: Ships detachment, 6th USMC division and Fleet Marine Forces Pacific amphibious tractor-LVT

5th my faouvrite set -Special units: 5307th composite unit better known as Merrill Marauders, very soft Kiska task force patch, twill 508 PIR pocket patch/82nd ABN...I know its not special unit but its best set for this patch, maybe if I will find some more pocket patches I will put it in to matching group of patches

Last set: specializations-Amphibious unit pocket patch and AAC weather specialist

And all toghether if you wan't more photos or close up just let me know

ka bar, patches are just small addition to my main way of collection-USMC, I just get few so I decide to add some patches
