Jim, how many variations of that armor sleeve insignia are in your collection? Any idea of what the total number available?

[Jim Baker]

Bob,

I only have two V Corps. Here is the other. I think the "thin" numeral above is an earlier variant.

The V Corps never came to be. It was anticipated and patches were made.....but.

[Jim Baker]

Bob,

I'm not sure I understand your question, but here are my Corps patches. I'd love to get my mits on an original XVIII Corps. Sorry about the crappy photo.

[Paul R]

Very nice collection! How many do you have in total?

[Jim Baker]

Hi Paul,

Thanks. I'd have to go through and count them up. I have most of the common armor patches and some battalion patches. I'm starting to collect the Infantry patches now.

Here is one I really like that you don't see too often. The 101st Infantry before they were airborne.

[Jim Baker]

And then of course after......

[Paul R]

Jim,

I have never seen that first 101st patch before!! WOW! What time period were these worn?

[Jim Baker]

Hi Paul,

I believe in the late 30's - early 40's. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

Another eBay bargain. 741st TB in greenback. Only one I've ever seen.

The reverse....
