  • 1 of 8
 

A museum-quality collector's set featuring experimental/prototype Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) designs for the 10th Mountain Division. Dating back to the division's reactivation as a Training Division at Fort Riley during the Korean War era (1948–1954), these specific designs and color variations were tested but never officially adopted for mass issue.

For the patch collector who has everything: A set of "What If" history.

  • Provenance: These patches represent the transitional period of the 10th Division. Between WWII and its modern designation, the unit served at Fort Riley training recruits for Korea. During this time, the Institute of Heraldry produced test runs of patches with different color schemes (incorporating yellow/gold) and modified designs to distinguish the unit's new role.

  • Rarity: These are genuine experimental prototypes. They differ significantly from the standard "Powder Keg" patch worn today. Finding a complete set of these trials is exceptionally difficult.

  • Significance: A tangible piece of the division's cold war evolution.
