warguy Posted August 8, 2017 Share #10 Posted August 8, 2017 Once again Tom, just a very nice patch. Bobgee is right on of course, 1919 occupation German made. Here is a pic of two patches that I acquired in a large grouping I acquired out of the woodwork and never in a previous collection. They belonged to a WWI Lieutenant assiged to the first battalion fifth Marines. He saw a lot of serivice. The left patch is depicted in his stuidio photo and was removed from the tunic he was wearing in the photo. The right one is very similar to yours. Congrats!

warguy Posted August 8, 2017 Share #11 Posted August 8, 2017 Tom I just noticed the twin to your patch is depicted on the Griffin Militaria web site banner. Looks like an identical match to yours. Thought you might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
