automatic Posted September 17, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 17, 2016 They made all kinds of PX patches in the same vein as this one around WW2. I have examples from the 82nd Airborne, Army Signal Corps, the Coast Guard. I think I have a USMC too, but on mine the background is black, as opposed to white, like yours.

Salvage Sailor Posted September 18, 2016 Share #14 Posted September 18, 2016 image.jpeg That's an older Gemsco (Sembler) WWII era PX/Generic patch as the others have said. I have some USN carded versions handy but can't locate my USMC patch at the moment. When I come across it, I'll post a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
