US 82ND AIRBORNE 504TH PIR PATCH.

US 82ND AIRBORNE 504TH PIR PATCH. The “Devils” nickname for the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment references the famous “Devils in Baggy Pants” reputation earned by the regiment during World War II after brutal fighting at Anzio, Italy. This version of the insignia became an unofficial design associated with the regimental identity. Patch measures approximately 6" x 6" and is sewn on a fragment of ERDL camouflage. The patch likely dates to the late Vietnam era. The insignia is contained in a wood frame that measures 15 - 1/2" x 13 - 1/2".
