This is an original US 3rd Infantry Division patch featuring the famous blue and white insignia.
Unit History & Symbolism
The 3rd Infantry Division earned the nickname Rock of the Marne during World War One for holding the line along the Marne River. The unit insignia consists of a 6cm x 6cm square patch featuring three white diagonal stripes set on a blue field. The stripes represent the division's major World War One campaigns: Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne.
Construction & Specification
This shoulder sleeve insignia is made with dense embroidered thread on a durable backing cloth. It features a thick dark green merrowed edge that prevents fraying and keeps the shape rigid. The flat back structure allows you to sew the badge directly onto tunic sleeves, field jackets, utility shirts, or display boards.
Collector & Reenactor Utility
As an official US Army division insignia worn from 1918 through modern conflicts, this badge is an ideal choice for military patch collectors, uniform restorers, and historical reenactors. The 6cm dimensions match original service specifications, making it a reliable replacement or display addition for jacket sleeve restoration.

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.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
