Does anyone have a picture of a 275th patch being worn? Was it a SSI or PP? Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks to Don Wagner for identifying. Brian

It was an SSI. We pubbed a photo of one being worn in O-D 2002 issue The Trading Post . The vet was showing his jacket decades after the war - it was not a period photo. Not all of the 275th AFA Bn patches were cut down.

Johnny and tredhed2, thank you for your response. I'll certainly look for that issue. Tredhed2, based on your response it sounds like all the insignia were produced as large rounds and some individuals cut them down, like mine, for wear on the shoulder. Can anyone comment as to the scarcity of this patch?

These are very scarce. They originally were made round and as mentioned were cut down. Will scan my mint one when I find it. Mort
