WWII U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division Patch - This is an original embroidered shoulder patch from the United States Army's 2nd Infantry Division, identified by its distinctive shield shape with a large cream-colored five-pointed star centered on a black field. Within the star is the division's iconic image: a Native American head in profile facing left, rendered in red with a blue war bonnet. The patch shows authentic hand-embroidered construction with period-correct thread work in red, blue, cream, and black on a khaki backing. The edges exhibit the natural fraying and wear consistent with combat-era wear and field use. The 2nd Infantry Division saw extensive action in both the European and Pacific theaters during WWII and remained active through Korea and beyond.
