Some of my latest US Patch Pickups

Hi friends! Here's some of my latest patch additions so far in 2022. I thought some of you American patch collectors might find these interesting.

First up is a beautiful German Made Bullion 104th Infantry Division "Timberwolves" patch.

Next is another beautiful German Made Bullion 106th Infantry Division patch. This division was heavily decimated during the Battle of the Bulge when two of its three regiments surrendered to the Germans when they became surrounded.

Lastly is a Korean War era 1st Marine Division Novelty patch. I believe its Japanese made but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for looking & stay safe!

Thank you John and Phil! Also got this uniform removed Aussie made 1st Marine Division patch. When it rains it pours!!! Also have some nice Waffen SS patches coming in the mail that I will share once they get here.

And yes Phil, the middle finger patch speaks for itself!

John,

Some wonderful patches you have there.

We have one of General Terry de la Mesa Allen's dress uniforms at the 1AD Musuem since he was commander of the 104th at one time in his career, and since he is buried in El Paso, Texas we have many of his artifacts in storage.

Amazing! Hopefully I can make it down to Texas someday to see them! I'm glad such a historic grouping is in a museum and not squirrelled away in someone's collection.

John,

Here is General Allen's 104th Division helmet liner and helmet.

I'm not even a helmet collector and I find that amazing! Again I'm glad its in a museum. Neat to see the General stars on both the liner & helmet... Both are in fantastic shape too. Thanks for sharing!
