"According to a softbound book titled "Guide to United States Army Special Forces Insignia 1952 - 1987 by Leonard Martin and H.W. Snyder & H.J. Saunders" this combination of 7th Army SSI with white on blue airborne tab was worn by the 10th Special Forces Group (Europe) between 1952 through 1955"

Having said all this, I'm just plain confused, but I really do appreciate the response sir especially so quickly.
I was with the 10th Group in 1955 and we wore the Abn Command Patch. I still have my 10th Group Year book from 1956 and all pictures from 1952 forward show only the Abn Command Patch being worn.
