Hi all,
This patch is interesting to me.As can be seen it is a bullion piece.I know that many bullion patches were/are being made in Pakistan,but on the other hand I've seen some German made pieces with the dark backing and "tinsel" type bullion.
While researching the unit I found this info:
65th Cavalry Division
The 65th Cavalry Division, constituted in 1921 as part of the organized reserve, had units from Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. It consisted of the 317th, 318th, 319th and 320th. On January 30,1942 it was disbanded.
Here is the site where I found the info:

There is not much more info that I've been able to find,and it appears that the 65th never saw any fighting.
My questions are when and by who this patch would have been made.
Also,any additional info on the 65th would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
