Capt.Confederacy Posted May 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2018 Here's a piece I've been wondering about and want to see if anyone here has any ideas about it. This particular patch is on twill, has a gauzy backing, and is about 10 inches long. Because of all of this, I'm thinking it might be Korean made and produced for a souvenir jacket in 1977. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted May 22, 2018 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2018 Looks more Philippine made then Korean. This design you see on a lot of USMC tour jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted May 22, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2018 Actually, the two U's make it an 'oriental' patch with typical misspellings......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

468abnarm Posted May 23, 2018 Share #6 Posted May 23, 2018 The design of this patch is that of a tattoo that was very prevalent in the late 60's & early 70's among G.I.'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tattoo was primarily a Marine tattoo (back in the day) but was later adopted by members of other Branches. He told me that he and his Marine buds always got a tickle out of seeing someone from a different branch sporting the tattoo because as he pointed out to me, you can spell out SEMPER FI with the design.
