INTERNATIONAL Listing A Collection of US Army Unit Crests SALE 2024

Description: SUMMER 2024 SALE I have to many boxes in the house that need to go. Have 100 books left. Would love them a good home. Once they are gone...they are gone. I pay for priority mail shipping and post comments once I ship. Several people have wrote me and told me that they couldn't find my book anywhere. So I'm relisting it here. This is for US Buyers ONLY. This book has no histories or backgrounds on any of the unit crests listed, just pictures. “A Collection of US Army Unit Crests – International Edition”, is long overdo. The last book on this subject matter was written by Barry J Stein in 1993. Mr Stein emailed me and was glad that someone was finally updating a crest book. He always wanted to update his book but it kept being put on the back burner. He’s now writing books on US Army Patches, they are great books too. Mr. Stein’s 1993 book on US Army Unit Crests is still the main “go to" book for US Army Unit Crests. Mr. Stein's book has about 3,500 units with histories and backgrounds. A Collection of US Army Unit Crests has over 13,000 unit crests, all in color. Due to the size, over 500 pages with unit crests pictures adding histories and background would add another 500 pages or more. It is my belief that a reader would like to identify a crest first. Then read up on that unit from the internet. My book is mainly for identifying the crest of a unit. Some units have the same crest, so each unit is listed with that crest. Then some units have more than one crest. Over time a unit deactivates and then is reactivated with a different unit crest. Having a reference book that include authorized, unauthorized, beercan, never issued, made for collectors and some odd ball crests has never been published. This book is an all in one book for collectors and researchers. This book contains over 13,000 color pictures of unit crests. It looks like the old SEARS catalog. Putting unit crests in branch order also gives the reader direct access to any branch. Especially those that are no longer around, like Army Security Agency, Army Air Corps and Tank Battalions. Having the crests by branch gives the reader the choice to use one chapter of the book at a time. With this separation, the reader needs less time in finding a unit crest. when they know the branch of the crest. The pages are marked with the branch so a reader will be able to open it up and go to the section that he is looking for quickly. This makes the location of a branch much quicker and easier to find. Before this book was published, a person would have to look in several books to find an unknown crest. Most books on US Army Unit Crests are based on one branch and/or a given conflict. Then these book only have black and white pictures for authorized crests. With this book, a reader can view each page, not knowing which branch a crest is and find the unit for a crest. Some crests can be misleading. A red crest usually means Artillery, but could be Medical or Engineers. Without this book, a reader would have to buy at least 3 different books in search of a red crest. Then if the crest was a made for collector, beercan or unauthorized crest, the reader would probably not find it in those books either. There isn’t any reference book, today, that also includes Army Air Corp/Army Air Force, ROTC and JROTC, and long deactivated units. So now the reader has all these hard to find crests in one location. There has been many times when I started searching for a crest, not knowing what unit it was, only to find out it was a ROTC or JROTC crest. So adding ROTC and JROTC crests are included. This really helps collectors in identifying the correct crest for the unit and saves time. Are all US Army Unit Crests included? Of course not.. There is no unit crest book that has all unit crests. There will always be a unit crest not listed. The search for US Army Unit Crests is endless. This book was made to make the journey more enjoyable by having as many, as I could find, in one location. MSRP $250.00 Includes a CD with a listing of all crests in the book and an UPDATE of over 500 color pictures of crests not listed in the book and/or better pictures of the ones listed. Currently, I'm working on individual branch catalogs which will include, dates, hallmark and both color and black and white pictures. It will also have a "NO CREST FOUND" for units, after researching, that have no unit crest. Hopefully this is helpful for those looking for a crest. As always, if a crest is missing or misidentified please drop me a message so I can correct it. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did putting it together.
