Re: just bought these WWII 2 patches and a major pin wondering if they are original
The patches are good, IMO.
N.S. Meyer still manufactures insignia today, but I believe the rank pin
is of WWII vintage - although it could be a 'crossover' era
piece used during the Korean War.
I'm not sure just when or how long Meyer 'Shold-R-Form'
marked insignia were produced, but they are
quite common............

Yes they are all good WWII US pieces. The Cat is the 2nd pattern 66th Inf Div. The White patch with the red, white and blue is the General Headquarters reserve.
The pin is a majors oak leaf made by Meyers in New York.
