November 2, 20187 yr #1 This was brought home by my Uncle who served in the 573rd SAW BN. He served from D-Day through the end of the war and this was taken at the Bulge. Scott

November 6, 20187 yr Author #7 Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I thought it was pretty cool to get a family piece! Scott
November 6, 20187 yr #8 Its an awesome piece Scott. Did he ever tell you anything about who it belonged to?
November 7, 20187 yr Author #10 Its an awesome piece Scott. Did he ever tell you anything about who it belonged to? No, I got it from my Second Cousin who had received it from my Great Grandmother... I knew my Great Uncle quite well and he was alive until 2006, but he never mentioned the souvenirs. This pennant along with a Red Cross badge (German) a couple of medals and a small party flag were in a Bible box and were given to me just a couple of years ago. Scott
November 8, 20187 yr Author #12 Great looking pennant with amazing quality! Thanks and yes, the detail in the stitching is pretty amazing. Scott
November 22, 20187 yr #13 Scott, A little late to the party but this is an incredible piece and to know it belong to family is even better Leigh
November 23, 20187 yr Author #14 Thanks Leigh, its certainly a bit out of my realm of collecting, but since it was brought home by my Uncle, it has a home in my collection. Scott
November 23, 20187 yr #15 The Germans sure knew something about quality and detail. This is one very historical pennant.
