KEY FEATURES
This original US Army 7th Infantry Division patch features the classic black hourglass unit insignia design.
Historical Unit Insignia
First adopted in October 1918, this shoulder sleeve insignia represents the US Army 7th Infantry Division, nicknamed the "Hourglass Division". Formed by two inverted figure sevens, the central symbol gained fame during heavy Pacific combat in WWII across the Aleutian Islands, Leyte, and Okinawa. This original surplus patch connects directly to a century of active military service.
Construction & Specifications
Measuring approximately 6cm in diameter, this circular badge features a bold red background with a central black hourglass emblem. Made with dense embroidery and framed by a black stitched border, the patch is built to handle wear on uniform sleeves or jackets. Thread backing on the reverse side confirms authentic military construction and tight stitch quality.
Practical Uses & Display
This original patch is ideal for historical reenactors restoring WWII US Army uniforms, as well as militaria collectors building period displays. It can also be easily sewn onto civilian field jackets, backpacks, or caps for a distinctive vintage look. The compact size makes it simple to attach using standard needle and thread.
Add this genuine 7th Infantry Division patch to your tunic, jacket, or display board.
This item was used by the US Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
