For sale is an exceptional and 100% original WWII theater-made patch of the U.S. 2nd Armored Division, produced between 1942 and 1944 in the Mediterranean Theater (North Africa, Sicily, or Italy).
This is not a standard U.S.-made patch—this is a hand-crafted officer-quality variant, featuring:
Features
•Hand-embroidered silver bullion tank tracks
•Thick European/Italian wool felt, not U.S. factory felt
•Red, yellow, and blue wool panels, period correct
•Silver officer’s trim border, tailor-added
•Hand-sewn cotton backing, typical of theater-made craftsmanship
•Beautiful age patina, no modern stitching or repairs
These patches were privately purchased and worn by officers and senior NCOs of the 2nd Armored Division “Hell on Wheels” during the early phases of WWII, before mass-produced insignia became widely available.
