irish Posted October 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 11, 2017 This one has me a bit stumped . I believe it to be WW2 as it is sewn to a G-1 from the period. My limited resources for Navy Squad patches has not got me an ID as of yet. Any help will be much appreciated. thanks Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
