Patchcollector Posted August 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2011 Hi all,I picked this neat patch a little while back,and have'nt found any info regarding it. I'm thinking USA made,but don't know what era. It is a pretty large patch,I left my hand in one of the pics to show scale. It has the words"Ordnance"and "Iceland",and a skeleton hand holding a lit cannonball, so I'm guessing the 8th Ordnance form Iceland!If anyone has any info,please let me know.

chuckie Posted August 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2011 I have the same patch, and I was wondering the same thing. I remember a post somewhere on it, but cant remember. Sorry. I will check the threads and see if anyone has some info on it. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted August 1, 2011 My memory of this unit is foggy,does the Marine 8th Ordnance Detachment sound correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 2, 2011 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2011 I was thinking Navy ordanance unit stationed in Keflavik, Iceland. Just a clouded memory guess though! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcav20 Posted August 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 5, 2011 I think it is a U.S. Navy patch. I couldn't find much history or anything on the unit. I'm almost possitive it is WWII era. - Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted August 6, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 6, 2011 This is a patch that has floated around for years as an unknown. It is a 50's-60's construction. At one point I saw a pile of these still wrapped in the original string bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
