Hi. I always hope to learn new things every day. I don't know much about patches and have seen the phrase "mirror patch" a few times while researching. Anyone mind edumacating me? Thanks!

Mickie,

My WAG is a patch that is made to orientate facing the same way on right or left sleeve.Say like an eagle flying forward on either sleeve.

Mikie,

 

My understanding is that these are novelty patches made to hold a circular mirror. These were mostly homefront items, the ones that I have seen are usually for an air base. I dont have one in my collection, so all I can offer is this poor description.

OK, thanks! My new thing learned for today. So I can go back to bed now?

 

So it seems like from some of the comments on that link that not having the mirror still attached does not hurt the collectability of these patches? It may actually hurt it?

Not to patch collectors.

 

Maybe to mirror collectors.
