48MMS Posted July 20, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2011 Found this on a ebay search and will be sold with my Security Police stuff in a day or so. The seller listed it at $1.95 and stated that if unsold it was going in the dumpster. . . maybe an idle threat, but WELL worth $1.95! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 20, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2011 48MMS' Are you going after it? OR are you suggesting that it's open season and it's worth a try for all of us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MMS Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 20, 2011 No, I bought it. I'll be listing it with some Security Police stuff. I thought it was a great bargain for a nearly 40 year old patch. It is over 5.5" tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 20, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2011 Thank you! I just wasn't sure what it was all about!! :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted July 21, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 21, 2011 Are you sure this patch isn't a "repro" , I ask as it sure looks very clean/new for one supposed to be that old ??????????????? Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MMS Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted July 21, 2011 Per the listing, I get the impression the seller has had it awhile. Holding it in person, it looks and feels legit. For a $1.95, it was worth the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted July 21, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2011 Why would anybody reproduce a patch like that? I'm sure it is legit. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikar Posted July 23, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2011 Are you sure it's Security Police? It could be a inter-command competition. I know the skycops did have their own competition for rifles and pistols but don't remember one for that. as for the condition, I have some from when I first went in as well as some from my Father when he was in that look very good to brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MMS Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted July 23, 2011 I am not sure at all. But since it involves guns, and Security Police use guns, I thought it was "close enough". Actually I may list it on it's own or with a group of other miscellaneous patches. But in all probability, it was not SPS specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikar Posted July 23, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 23, 2011 I did a bit of checking and this might help explain it: http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123072042 It could have been worn by a member of a combined Air Force team who came from Tachikawa. the other members could have come from different bases and combined to make up a complete team. Just a theory. Most of the guys I worked with didn't shoot skeet, they practiced with rifles and pistols to help them qualify when Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
