Tank destroyers insignia plus tanks

[Uncle Paul]

Has anyone seen one of these? I found the big (17 in. diameter) Tank Destroyer plaque at a Ohio antiques mall. The panzer tank recognition model was another Ohio find. The trench art tank was made by a vet in Pueblo, Colorado. It flips open to hold cards or cigarettes.

I found a ID model tanks like yours in 1975 in Fayetteville, NC. The guidon was listed in a lot sale on eBay as "Army Flag" .

Hi Marty

What capacity was the TD emblem used up to the Vietnam war?

Tank Destroyer Center was deactivated Nov. 1945.

I know during Vietnam war ,there were former WWII vets serving in higher command that had WWII era units made up in Vietnam , but these were restricted to individual(s).

Was the TD emblem used in an unofficial way?

You are correct the TD's where deactivated soon after WW2.From what I can tell the cat was used in Vietnam by some US troops. In my unofficial opinion I guess maybe out of respect, as you stated in an unofficial capacity. I have not found nor have I really dug deep into the research but I do know that there were tank destroyer in Vietnam used by Us troops and Marines,one that comes to mind was the m50 ontos( weird looking).
