PATCHRAT Posted November 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2017 here is an older patch that is defying ID. Any leads or a positive ID are welcome. It is Japanese-made in the "Ace Novelty" style. The eagle's claw might suggest the 101st? Too late to be associated with the 17th A/B I'm thinking. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted November 30, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2017 Just a wild guess but counterfire is a term used by the fire service fighting wild land forest fires so could this be an early smokejumper patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted November 30, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2017 Could be a Cold War FATAB unit (Field Artillery Acquisition Battalion) They evolved from the WWII/Korean war FAOB counter battery units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHRAT Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted November 30, 2017 Appreciate the leads gentlemen, I'll do more digging along those lines and see if something turns up. The Smoke jumper lead is pretty interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
