This is part of my US military patch collection ranging from before WWII - Current times, if anyone wants to get into collecting and has a question or what not just leave a comment.
@CasperAirsoft Thats cool, I recommend that you go to flea markets and yard sales rather than the surplus store if you are going to get into collecting, you are more likely to find quality items and cheaper than any store could offer. I have been collecting for the last 15 years now and I have noticed that things are getting harder to come by and more expensive in the last 5 years.
@smithbrosvideo15 Well a simple recommendation would be to go to local public sales, yardsales, and antiques shops. After you have established a collection and want to go into some of the higher end collecting I know a few reputable websites.
@100trueneutral I would certainly believe this, but I currently do not have a special means of storing them at this time, for lack of funding for a humidity and temperature controlled case haha. Right at the moment I have them in just several glass display cases throughout my house.
@SurplusCharlie Thank you, I have many other items in my military collection, but now I do not have time to upload any videos because of I am preparing for mobilization to Kuwait at the moment. Perhaps when I return home.
@townley1950 Thanks got the answer a couple of months ago, its a greenback I've got 4 of them now in basically mint condition along with quite a few other period patches.
@reyssoda Lol, I think you would rather have an earlier one. The particular 1st Infantry Division patch here is actually from Vietnam so much later than the WWII ones. But I do have several of the 1st Cavalry patches, although those are also Vietnam vintage.
your still in the military my aunt lives in kuwait i know a guy that was in the the 10 moutain division he gave me his acus with the patches good luck in kuwait
1st Cavalry Division. Also known as "1st Cav" or "1st Team". This was my division in Ft. Hood, Tx. The gold & black are for the dress uniform. The green & black are for your BDU's. Largest patch in the entire Army.
@smithbrosvideo15 Well I have to say that the best way to start is looking into what the patches looked like during certain eras and getting guides on how to tell what patches are fakes. After you are a little rehearsed on the way to identify patches and repoductins then I would say go to some local yardsales and flea markets, those are the best areas I have found to find quality patches, uniforms, weapons, and other military memerobelia. ust avoid online sales! People will take advantage of you
@noble381297 I guess some could be but I'm honestly not sure what things are going for anymore the last year I have been too out of the loop with real life military things going on in my life to keep up.
@reyssoda You want a Vietnam vintage 1st Infantry Division and 1st Cavalry Division patch? Yes I would be willing to trade them, but depending on what you have and if you pay shipping.
@SurplusCharlie Well that's cool, yeah all I know about Kuwait is that its extremely hot and not really a place that Id like to be, honestly I would rather put in paperwork to transfer to a unit that is going to afghanistan
@noble381297 So do I!! But you should not sew old patches on any uniform or take patches off of uniforms, it destroys the history of what was with the original uniform.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way.....
