Siamundo Posted May 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2017 I haven't really come across any other Maine 1st Recon Battalion patch like this before and was wondering if anyone else had one like or might have any details about it. It is approximately 7" tall and fully embroidered. It appears to be Japanese made. I am guessing at least Vietnam vintage or perhaps earlier, maybe 1950s.

Siamundo Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted May 13, 2017 Thank you gentleman. I agree that based on the size, it was possibly too tall for uniform wear so probably intended for a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Scott Posted May 13, 2017 Share #6 Posted May 13, 2017 It really is a Shoulder insignia worn by Bufford Bunyan Paul's brother.All kidding aside that's a great looking jacket insignia.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
