Description: AUCTION FOR A REPRODUCTION WWII US 101ST "SCREAMING EAGLES" AIRBORNE PARATROOPER SLEEVE DIVISION INSIGNIA PATCHBRAND NEW. GENRAL INFO ON AIRBORNE INSIGNIA.Pocket patches were applied to M41 jackets, jump jackets or flight jackets, usually on the left breast. Machine-embroidered on twill or wool, or hand-sewn bullion. NOTE: "PIR"= Parachute Infantry Regiment; "PFAB"= Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. Pocket patches were only for casual or "walk out" uniforms. They were worn on standard jackets, M41's, Tankers or A-2's. Unit patches actually had no prescribed regulation position when sewn to the upper sleeve, but usually they were placed 1/2"-1" under the shoulder seam. The wearer's current unit was sewn to the left sleeve, while any previous unit in which he saw combat might be placed on the right sleeve. Patches for enlisted overseas caps were sewn to the front-left of the front fold, while officers were on the right. Often, it was a "cool" thing for Airborne to place a silver dollar behind the cap patch... some say it was used as a blackjack for bar fights in this fashion! Regimental pocket patches were usually applied to secondary jackets (like "tanker" or privately-purchased flight jackets); sewn to the left breast.
