Hi Jacob, the eagle patch is WW2 production. Note the tan coloured edging which can be seen around the edge of the patch. This is from the cotton backing material onto which the patch was embroidered and is typical of WW2 era patches.

The "Airborne" tab does not feature this and appears to be later production. Alos it does not match size wise.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Jacob, sorry I don't. I quit US collecting back in 1989.

I did used to have a nice wool OD Officers shirt complete with 101st insignia back then.

Cheers, Ade.

Jacob,
I can give you a couple of places to look, but they are all here in the US. PM me if interested.
