  • 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.

    A highly collectible WWII artifact: An original Lucky Strike "Green" Flat Fifty Cigarette Tin.

This specific tin was found in Normandy, linking it directly to the European Theater of Operations. While the exterior shows "salty" rust and wear consistent with a battlefield relic, the interior remains surprisingly legible with the classic "It's Toasted" slogan and Indian head logo. Dimensions: 11cm x 14cm.
