Officer Candidate School Green Back Patch WWII Original

Description

The Patch:  This auction is for
One WWII Original Officers Candidate Schools patch with a green back.
This patch is in good condition.  It has a very nice green backing.  This patch does not glow under the UV light and is guaranteed to be authentic.
The History:  The OCS insignia was approved on June 4, 1941.  When it was approved it was believed that just under 3600 officer candidates would wear it at 13 schools during each quarter through 1942.  The war caused an increase in this figure as more officers were needed and enlisted men and warrant officers attended the schools.  The normal training period for officers was three months and only the highest caliber candidates were to be recommended for the schools.

Some of these patches have been used. If an item is listed as used it may be sewn on, have some dirt on it or have loose threads. I try not to post items with excessive wear because I want you to get good quality items. I try to post good photos of each item but they get shrunk down when they appear in the listing. If you have any questions about condition, please ask me. I can email you the original photo and can make larger scans if you give me enough time. Please ask. I will be happy to give you as much information as I can about an item so that you can make an informed decision about the item before bidding. Thank you for looking at my auction and I hope you will bid.
The Shipping: Shipping will be .00 for buyers in the United States. I will combine shipping if you wait for my invoice. I Ship World Wide. Shipping will be .00 for all orders that are less than .00 in total value. All orders that total more than .00 must be sent via Parcel Post.

PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE TO PAY FOR YOUR AUCTIONS. I will combine all of your items won onto one invoice and will combine shipping for your items. This saves you money.
Please ask if you want to have auctions from two different weeks combined. I will usually allow this to happen if you see something you want to bid on that is ending the following week, but I won't combine more than two weeks of auctions because I have had problems with non payment in the past.
I do try to check daily to see who has paid to try to get things out quickly, but will always try to make a mailing on Saturdays and Tuesdays
Payment must be received within 10 days of the end of the auction.
Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for bidding on my auctions.
