FSSF badge picture
I don't have any reliable pictures of a REAL FSSF arrowhead badge front and back. Would one of the forum members be willing to post? What is a real one worth these days?

The best reference for this would be Crimson Spearhead by Ken Joyce. There are several different patterns that are all original, but as you know, there are also many reproductions out there. There is also an official US issue patch made post war, and the repro's made for the movie.

You can also become a member of the U.S.Militaria Forum,you will find there a ton of informations on the SSI of the FSSF.

Are you asking about the cloth shoulder flash or the crossed arrows badge?

There are several "correct" spearhead patches, all issued during the war. They have different characteristics, and are explained in Joyce's book. Values vary, but if you could get a "certified" one for $75 it would be a good buy.
