ISO Information on Leather Patches

[maggiesue]

Hello all,

Just joined in hopes of getting some information on a collection of leather patches my job has recently acquired.

I'm hoping to figure out if these patches are reproductions or original to WWII era? I'm having a hard time doing research and finding information online, and you all seemed helpful and knowledgeable so I thought I'd give it a shot! Any resources for pricing would also be greatly appreciated. Prices vary so much online and I really am not sure where to start. I've attached group photos of the patches. I can attach individual ones too if easier. Some have tags on back from whoever sold them originally, photos of that are included as well. A lot of them are tagged as being made? 1940's but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Appreciate the help!

Great patches, look like they were painted by the same person/type of paint but many different units. Almost certain they are repos but possibly "old" repros 1960's/70's

I agree! That time period makes sense to me as well. Any clue where to start price wise?

best to check the competition on ebay. There are a few guys selling really nicely painted repros for not very much.
