Just picked this group of patches up today from a local fella for $20.

 

Patches are a mixture of WWII through modern.

 

Loving the USS Tusk patch; probably my favorite of the haul. Appears to have age to it. I'm assuming 60's era?

 

 

501st PIR I believe are 60's era. Tank destroyer is post-war; reunion patch I assume?

 

I'm most interested in the 82nd patch without the tab. It's embroidered on a velvet material. Definite synthetic thread.
Collector's or reunion patch?

 

Thanks for looking, and any input is appreciated!

Nice buy! Is the BRO patch WWII? It seems post-war period, but the image isn't very clear.

 

Hey MPoorthuis,

 

Bro is merrowed edge, so way post-war. Still retains green thread from being sewn on Class A's.

Whats the origin of this one?

I'm wondering the same thing...Odd patch, and can't find another. Meterial is velvet, but embroidery is synthetic threads. Has a WWI look, with modern material.

Your navy SSX1 patch is for an experimental submarine and its crew. We pubbed an article on it in the A-J 2016 issue of The Trading Post.

 

Thanks, Dave. Just pulled out my copy to read the article.
