101st, Italy patch and a few more

[Politefaun]

Hello all, for 2020 I started to get more into WW2 patches with help from user Rakkasan187 who gave me a great deal on the 2nd infantry division, 70th infantry division, tank destroyer, and technical sergeant patches. Today at the show I added on the Italy POW patch and a 101st airborne patch, the tab is unfortunately not original to the body. I don't really have a theme for this collection but I would like to get the rangers diamond, 82nd airborne and more infantry division patches. Thank you for reading.

Don't do it, stay away from collecting patches.

Its worse than a drug habit because your straight edge and you know what you are doing!!

I have seen these symptoms before in my past.

It all starts with Division patches , Infantry, Airborne , Armoured Force , Armoured divisions , then Corp, Armies , Army Groups , Ranger scrolls, Army Air force's , Departments , service commands and more!!
It just never Stops ,did I mention USMC!!!!!

Serious mate its a great hobby and you learn so much and meet a lot of good people like Smitty.

If I my suggest get good reference books on US SSI.

The Kellers have an outstanding reputation with their series on WWII SSI. For WWII-1965 Airborne:Emblems of Honour is a must have.

Apologies if I sound like a salesman ,experience is gained from excellent quality reference material ,contacts and many new collectors do not realize there are good sources out there.

Here is a contact for the Kellers Kurt kurtk@tellurian.com .

Another excellent source is ASMIC



Anyway well done and enjoy the hobby.

Never be afraid to ask questions.
