Add a classic piece of World War II armor history to your collection with this vintage U.S. Army 5th Armored Division ("Victory Division") Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. Crafted with period-authentic flat cut-edge border construction on a cloth/OD backing, this triangular patch features high-density multi-color embroidery set against the iconic tri-color background representing the combined arms of Armor (yellow), Infantry (blue), and Field Artillery (red). The heraldic emblem displays a black tank track and gun barrel crossed by a striking red lightning bolt—symbolizing mobility, firepower, and speed—beneath a bold black Arabic numeral "5". Landed in Normandy in July 1944, the 5th Armored Division spearheaded the drive across France, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was the first American unit to cross the Elbe River. Ideal for uniform restorations, military shadow boxes, WWII armored vehicle displays, veteran tributes, and militaria collections.
