U.S.
Army Heraldic Crests:
A Complete Illustrated History of Authorized Distinctive Unit Insignia
by Barry Stein, P.Capelotti
Hardcover (1993)
The most comprehensive book on the subject. Catalogs over 3,000 distinctive insignia, with full-color illustrations, descriptions,
translations of mottos, and other useful information.
Very Valuable! This book was a worthwhile
addition to my library! It is absolutely fascinating! Excellent
reference. Stein, owner of insignia-maker Ira Green Inc. and the author of
"U.S. Army Heraldic Crests", has produced another excellent reference for the
militaria collector.
After a brief but useful essay on the history and manufacture of Army patches, the author
proceeds to the heart of the work; the depiction of over 1500 patches in full color, with
accompanying notes giving a brief history and current location of the unit, the design and
wear dates of the emblem, campaign credits and unit decorations. With abbreviations,
glossary, bibliography, and an excellent index, Stein's work will serve as a standard
reference for patch collectors.
Emerson, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, is the
author of Chevrons, a detailed book on U.S. Army insignia, and a member of many collectors
organizations. This massive reference book is intended for researchers, historians,
collectors, dealers, and curators. It covers insignia and uniforms of the U.S. Army
from 1782 to the present. Before insignia became common, the design of the
uniform was especially important in identifying nationality and branch of service.
Thus, one-third of this book is devoted to the study of uniforms, and two-thirds covers
insignia.
