Bob Hunter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Jim, how many variations of that armor sleeve insignia are in your collection? Any idea of what the total number available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baker Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 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.
