Original WWII era “cut-edge” 474th RCT patch in unused condition. Here is some info about the patch quoted from “US ARMY PATCHES” by Barry Jason Stein:
This insignia was originally approved for the 474th Infantry Regiment on 3 February 1945. It was re-designated for the Seventy-fourth Regimental Combat Team on 8 July 1954. The design embodies former insignia of the three units that made up the 474th Infantry Regiment: the bright red American Indian spearhead belonged to the First Special Service Force, the scroll to the Ranger Battalions; and the blue Viking Ship belonged to the Ninety-ninth Infantry Battalion that was composed of American officers and men of Norwegian ancestry.
