For all the Patch Collectors

[alktrio06]

Hey guys, I just started collecting about 3 months ago and already I have amassed over 200 shoulder patches. I was wondering how people were showcasing their patch collection?

200! You have been very busy! Good deal.

You could post pic of them here, then we could help with a good lay out suggestion.

[alktrio06]

Ha. Yeah I got quite a few. I got most from this guy who sold about 200 of them to me for a pretty good price.

Here's a pic. Sorry about the mess, we are painting the office.

In the upper right corner of the board, third patch in, the round red white and blue, what division is that?

It's for the Army Ground Forces, currently FORCOM.

Anyone with display advice?

Don't you mean FORSCOM. I placed my collection, by theater/country, on a framed sheet of plywood covered with OD green material and each patch was attached with Velcro . I collected patches my entire 24 years that I served in the Army. My collection was lost in hurricane Katrina.

Typo, my bad! That's awful. All that history down the drain. Do you have any pics pre- Katrina?

I don't have a ton of patches but I was thinking of starting a patch blanket using a GI wool blanket. they did that some in WW II.
