Tonomachi Posted March 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2017 I saw this on eBay and it did not sell as the seller was asking too much money ($800.00) for it. I was wondering if anyone recognizes this patch. Is it a military patch or maybe a civilian patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted March 5, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2017 KDA (Kyushu Divers Association)? Doesn't really seem military to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted March 5, 2017 KDA (Kyushu Divers Association)? Doesn't really seem military to me. You may be right but I just thought that since it was in English and the diver is green in color with a trident that it might be a scuba club associated with the US military.

Salvage Sailor Posted March 5, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 5, 2017 That's a USN drinking patch (not official of course) from Sasebo Naval Base (Kyushu) Sasebo was/is where the Westpac Mine Sweepers and Salvage Forces were based during the Korean and Vietnam wars. KDA is probably the tongue in cheek "Kyushu Divers Association" Ridiculous asking price..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
