Help ID Military Patch and Helmet Sticker
« on: December 13, 2012, 03:15:24 pm »
I assume these are from the same unit since they came from the same person's collection. Just hoping someone could help with the name and what era. Thanks!

Hi, the green patch is for an armored unit, not numbered, probably around Nam era and the decal is for the 103rd Armored Division, might be Korean war era or a little later.

Thanks! This is the back of the sticker. I thought the way the address is written could help date it.

Just had someone tell me the cloth patch is from the Armor Training Center at Ft. Knox. It would have been worn with a tab underneath it. The decal dates to before 1964 since it uses a city zone code instead of a zip code.

I asked hubby (20 year Army retired) he said 103 armored div. probably Europe !!  He said he didn`t remember it in Korea !! I should have said,,the decal is the one I asked him about,, not the patch !!  We get a magazine sometimes that you can order all the patches and stuff from !! I will see if I can find one !! Usually I toss them when he is through looking at it but I will check and see if I have an old one somewhere !!

Google ACU Patch armored division and look at images.  You will see the patch...however not without a number or name designation.  Also google ACU sticker armored Division

and this one



And this dealer sells patches like your sticker...but with designated armored divisions
