Eric Queen Posted May 11, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2016 Picked this up at the show last weekend. In the mid 1980's when Jeff Millstein was working on this book, Bob Byrd had the only one (known to me) of these. Jeff tried and tried to get it but never could. Since them a few have shown up but still one of the harder marine squadron patches to find I would think. I remember Pat posted a nice on in the "rarest marine patches" thread. Does anyone have any information on these beyond what Jeff has in his book? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted May 11, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2016 One of the rarest USMC squadron patches. If I remember correctly there were two sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted May 11, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2016 One of these sold on eBay in 2008 and I kept the photographs as reference. Just in case you haven't seen this photograph of one being worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Scott Posted May 16, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 16, 2016 I sold the photo and the patch in 2008 and have only had two others in the last 36 years.It is one tough USMC squadron insignia to find.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted February 25, 2017 Share #6 Posted February 25, 2017 Another thread on this with a similar 4" patch. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/29174-can-anyone-id-these-a1-chenelle-wings/&do=findComment&comment=388725 Just picked this one up and will have better scans of it soon. I am guessing at least 8 inches in width as is the 2nd variation that Bob is talking about. It appears to be chenille from the grainy image.
