That is a nice 7th army patch ya got there. Pretty sure that's what they call the bevo weave style or machine woven. Bevo comes from some long German word that I can't remember. Most of these patches I believe were made in occupied Germany right after the war or close to the end. Definitely a harder style of patch to find. If you are interested I have a few extra patches laying around that I should find a new home for. Doubles or whatever that I have collected throughout time that i wouldn't need for my own collection. Mostly ww2 era.
@@livinghistorymilitaria any patches that you are specifically looking for? I dont have any spare usmc patches. I should have air force and army ones for sure. I will have to dig them out and go through them. I wanted to frame mine up one of these days but it always gets put off, lol.
@@livinghistorymilitaria Wore that patch for a short time while I was with 1-4 in hohenfels germany. Not a well known patch in the army. Everybody thought it was some reserve unit. It's still worn to this day
The 9th division was my father outfit. He was stationed Berlin, Germany in 1950. Before the Korean War. His his regiment pin had an alligator and hooked ladder. Which means that regiment fought in the Mexican War and Seminole wars. I can't remember which regiment it was. Can you tell me which one?🦅🇺🇸
@@livinghistorymilitaria That would be great. He was stationed Berlin, Germany in 1950. Before start of the Korean War. He was in the 9th Division . His regiment pen had alligator on top in the center of hooked it ladder. He told me alligator represented fighting in the Seminole wars and the hooked ladder represented fighting in the Mexican wars. If you come to any information on the regiment it would be great. Thank you for reading this electronic letter.
@@livinghistorymilitariaI have a picture of my Dad I'm his uniform with that patch. He was in the 25th Lighting Division in the Pacific.what unit is that? He was also part of the occasional forces in Nagasaki after the Bomb was dropped.
