    Description
    This is an ORIGINAL and RARE lot of insignia embroidered/sewn on olive drab wool uniform sleeves by members of the Tank Corps during WWI. I acquired this lot circa 2013-14 as I was ending my collecting and I don't recall if I bought it at the Show of Shows in Louisville, KY or the SOCALMICS militaria show in Bellflower, CA. The design of the armor triangle is attributed in part to the COL George S. Patton, Jr., who was instrumental in the formation and training of the Tank Corps and commanded the 304th Tank Brigade in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives.
    All of the insignia is in VERY GOOD condition with NO mothing and is embroidered/sewn on OD uniform-type wool, and consists of the following (from top to bottom in the riker mount):  (1) Overseas Stripe; (2) Tank Corps Triangle Insignia; (3) Ribbon bar consisting of Mexican Border Campaign, WWI Victory medal with campaign star and Army of Occupation ribbon;  (4) Corporal stripes; and (5) "Wound" stripe. Items 2 and 4 have the cross-stitching used to attach them to the uniform.  Included is the 4" x 6" note card describing the lot, which states that the insignia was removed from a "ragged uniform".
    Sorry for the yellow tinting in some of the images due to my crummy Sony Mavica camera and lack of photographic talent!
    Here's an opportunity for the advanced WWI or Tank Corps collector to obtain a RARE and COMPLETE insignia lot of WWI. The buyer will have my usual unconditional guarantee of authenticity and satisfaction and a five-day (
    not the 14-days that they insert in my listings without my consent
    ) right of inspection and return/refund privilege, excluding postage.
    Please scroll downward to see the last three images!
    PLEASE NOTE:  The buyer may have the insignia delivered by first class mail, rather than priority mail, with the unused postage being refunded after mailing.
    The insignia will be mailed in the riker mount with the original seller's description note card.
