Poa - patch

**josephc** · 06-20-2013, 03:11 AM

Was not sure if this is correct area of forum to post - is this patch considered collectible/desirable? Can someone comment on value? POA/Russian Liberation Army unit that fought with Germany at Normandy.

Better pictures of the front and back are needed, But it dose not look good. The material and construction look sloppy, but better pictures will help. For value around $100-120.

Just a question, I know that POA units was stationed in Normandy but i dont think you can tie this patch with the Normandy Garrison.

It is from the estate of a 121st Infantry Regiment 8th Infantry Division medic who landed in Normandy (after D-Day) so I believe it could have been from Normandy area but the 8th div did fight across France/Belgium/Germany so could have been from any of those places I suppose.

I do not have any better pics but it is in a scrapbook with other period insignia.

Very nice original. To me it is both collectable and desirable.

I have one the same in my collection shown on the forum here:

Yes they are around 100- 120 us+.

I am interested if you consider selling this one. (I am only mentioning this since you asking for the value)

Patch arrived as part of a 121st Infantry regiment 8th Infantry Division medic lot. I got the lot because my great uncle was a medic with this unit also and would be the next best thing to having his medic armband. It is in great shape; tiny bit of tape residue that came off easily with finger nail.

Here are the photos of the example I have that I turned up locally from an attic . This one is 100% original and was used here on the Island of Jersey.
All the best,
