Thanks Jerry
As a collector we can never get enough of the same insignia we collect , fortunately we are the Guardians of History and most of us are amateurs with a passion!!
I've always liked to have , in my mind, a kind of chronology of a patch, badge like WWI , pre WWII , early WWII , late war , 1945-50 , 1950's to 60's to show variations of either manufacture, size colour , construction and of the insignia's changes and development.
With collecting US shoulder Sleeve Insignia it can get complicated due to manufacturers deliberately inputting their "signature" onto the patch and slightly changing the design from the original authorized OQMC design.
cheers
