Patchcollector Posted February 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2018 Are you certain it's Military?Could be sports or Motorcycle club related.The first thing I thought of when I saw it was Indian Motorcycles,but couldn't find this variation in their logo history.What size is it?

Bearmon Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted February 24, 2018 The Pontiac Star Chief is similar but not the same, I am not sure if it is military or not to tell the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted February 24, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 24, 2018 It does look more like a sports logo. But there are collectors for those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted February 25, 2018 Share #6 Posted February 25, 2018 I saw the same patch as a BIN on ebay too. Could not make anything of it. Since the seller also had tons of militaria I figured it was too much of a gamble as every image search came up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted February 25, 2018 Share #7 Posted February 25, 2018 Most of the Air Force patches I've seen from the 50's were large,like 4 or 5 inches,sometimes bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted February 26, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 26, 2018 It does have some similarities to the early 1950s era 327 FIS (attached), but I've never seen it before. But in the wild world of patches, who knows? Motorcycle related or maybe some cartoon character possibly. BTW, there are lots of small USAF patches from the 50s. It was pretty common to have a hat/scarf sized one as well as the larger chest patch. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
