March 13, 200719 yr #1 USMC Quarter Master recently had this on eBay...what can you guys tell me about it? I was hoping some of our Paramarine collectors would have a few in their collection and know a thing or two about such. All the strikers in my collection are embroidered but the backing isn't like that
March 13, 200719 yr #2 Hey Brig, Nothing wrong with that one. Looks like a nice early war example with green bobbin thread reverse and cheesecloth backing. I imagine it went for a pretty penny. Did you follow it until the end of auction? BTW - Unlike early war Army patches, any WWII USMC SSI, striker, flash, etc. is considered very scarce with this green bobbin thread reverse. Here is another "green back" I thought you'd appreciate. The early war, unauthorized 2nd Marine Division, embroidered on twill. Semper fi, Gary
