Post
WW2 U.S. Army Patches, Armies, Corps, Divisions, Commands, Brigades,
Regiments, Regimental Combat Teams, Units, etc., as available. |
|
Note: As the post WW2 US military quickly grew, many different patches suddenly
appeared, creating “Officially Authorized Patches,” “Unofficially
Authorized Patches,” “Unofficial Patches,” “Unauthorized
Patches,” “Fantasy Patches,” as well as, reproductions of rare and
exotic patches, all to satisfy the military, as well as, the never ending
need of the collector. In
some cases, its reasonable to assume, that existing stocks of WW2 period
produced patches were used until exhausted, making it difficult to
determine exactly when a particular post WW2 merrowed edge patch had its début.
Generally speaking, patches containing the “New Army Green Color,” do
not usually appear before 1957; the merrowed edge patch generally started to appear in 1968.
In 1970, “subdued” unit and rank insignia was officially worn on field
and combat uniforms, although some “subdued” shoulder insignia was
actually worn before that date. Some of the patches actually used today,
appear the same as WW2 patches except for the material content, (not 100%
cotton), backing material and the addition of the merrowed edge. Many of
the post WW2 patches we offer are one of a kind from collections we have
purchased; some are factory samples, factory closeouts or overruns; some
are genuine military patches we normally sell in our store and some were
actually purchased from the specific unit. |
