1UP-1. 2-1/2-inch wide x 3-inch high, fully embroidered blue patch depicting a winged number “11” on a red circle. Unfortunately we do not have the proper WW2 Airborne tab for this patch. The 11^th Airborne was activated in 1943, arrived in New Guinea in May 1944. The 11^th ABN trained for the invasion of the Philippines; their mission was to disrupt Japanese supply lines and cut Japanese escape routes. The 11^th fought and defeated Japanese Paratroopers dropped on the San Pablo airstrip; the 11^th made amphibious and airborne landings in their drive toward Manila and was credited as being the first U.S. unit to land on the Japanese mainland. 204 days of combat in three campaigns. Unused. Excellent++. $24.00

1UP- 1b. 2-1/4-inch wide x 3-3/4-inch high, fully embroidered blue patch depicting an embroidered, winged number “11” on a red circle. The Airborne tab was made integral to the patch when it was manufactured and the space between the patch and the tab is an extension of the same tan colored fabric that the patch and tab is embroidered on. This example exhibits light to moderate signs of age, light wear, no actual soil. This example has been used and removed from a uniform; remnants of original sewing thread still remain. Nice. SCARCE. Used. Vg.

This example exhibits moderate signs of age, light wear, no actual soil; the patch shows signs of laundering. This example has been removed from a uniform; remnants of original sewing thread still remain. The patch is slightly out of shape from use, (not seriously detracting), priced accordingly. A nice used example. SCARCE. Vg. $35.00

1UP-2. 2-1/4-inch wide x 3-inch high fully embroidered blue patch with a light olive border edge, depicting a gold embroidered winged Unicorn. Unfortunately we do not have the proper WW2 Airborne tab for this patch. Activated in August 1943, sent to the European Theatre of Operations in January of 1945 and assigned to the 1^st Allied Airborne Army. The unit was assigned to take part in Operation Varsity but due to a lack of aircraft, never made it and was not actually involved in combat as a unit. In August 1945 the unit returned to the United States to prepare for duty in the Pacific, however, they were never sent because of the Japanese surrender. The 13^th Airborne Division was deactivated in February 1946. Unused. Excellent+. $24.00

1UP-2c. 2-inch wide x 3-1/2-inch high, fully embroidered blue patch depicting a, gold embroidered, winged Unicorn. The Airborne tab was made integral to the patch when it was manufactured and it is embroidered directly to the top edge of the patch. This example exhibits very insignificant signs of age and wear and only the very slightest hint of soil form handling and light use. The patch is still attached to a piece of khaki shirt material, (the material appears to be Army officer type tropical worsted wool), which completely covers the backside; machine stitching can be seen along the border edge on the front. A nice variation. SCARCE. Vg. $49.00

1^st Army Patch Variation with, Orange & White, Signal Units Branch of Service Colors and Early Horizontal & Vertical Lines of Embroidery

1^st Army Patch Variations with Branch of Service Colors and Early Horizontal Lines of Embroidery- Removed From Manufacturers Sample Book

The following four patches are approximately 2-1/4-inch wide x 3-inch high, the patches are fully embroidered, olive green patches, depicting a large, black embroidered letter “A;” the center of the “A” is embroidered with specific Branch of Service colors; each patch is very nicely embroidered and the inside of the “A” exhibits horizontal lines of embroidery. These patches were removed from a manufacturers sample book; each patch has a vertical staple mark on the center horizontal cross bar of the letter “A;” the staple has left an impression in the fabric, as well as a light rust mark from the metal staple, but nothing overly serious. The reverse of each patch exhibits an overall olive green thread backing, which is of particular interest to patch collectors. Each patch is in excellent unused condition except for the staple situation and can serve as an excellent representative example. (The front of Item# 1UP-12iam, appears to have a black center; the center is actually green and it is the standard 1st Army patch).
