ObKrieger's U.S. Patch Thread

[ObKrieger]

Interesting! Will you be branching into the different eras as well? WWI, for example, has some very striking and desirable patches to be had..

I would love to get some hard-to-find patches. I do like the crude WWI designs.

For now I just want a solid, authentic example from each division. I'd like to arrange them in a large frame or something like that once I'm finished.

I got these in the mail today! 75th Infantry Division and 9th Corps.

A good start one thing I would invest in is a black light, also they did make the 11th Airborne in one piece

How do you know it's a reproduction? Just so I know what to look for.

Today's arrival: Greenback Western Defense Command

Nice greenback, there are so many factors that go into telling if a patch is real first most ww2 patches are cut edge. The second thing to look at is that there is no glue coating on the back there are a lot of modern patches that put wax on the back of the patch to hold the threads, most ww2 patches are snow back. A uv light will also be a good judge. If you ever have a question on a patch just post it on here there are plenty of collectors who know patch on here you are slowly on your way
