SOLD US 50th Armored Division Patch . USP1238B

United States Army 50th Armored Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (Patch). The patch is fully embroidered with a sewn-on white type backing material. Most likely late 1940s-1960s era. Interesting thing on this patch is that is custom done with ww2 German shoulder board “50” cyphers used on the patch for the number 50. The patch does not react to UV light (does not glow under blacklight). Worn condition.

Additional Notes: The 50th Armored Division replaced the 44th Infantry Division within the New Jersey Army National Guard, with the 50th Armored assuming the 44th Infantry’s “Jersey Blues” nickname. Most 50th Armored Division units were legacy units of the 44th Infantry and inherited the lineage and history of those units.
