hirsca Posted August 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2011 Could someone please help me ID these two patches? Larger one is on black felt with a cheescloth backing. The smaller one is on very dark navy blue felt and the propeller is a baby blue color. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas.

doyler Posted August 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2011 Al The one on the right is normally seen on WW2 womens /Wave snlisted uniforms the left one is a PX or souvienet patch in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 19, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2011 The one on the left looks like an embroidered version of a chief's hat device. Possibly a PX patch as Ron says? Sabrejet :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks doyler and Sabrejet. I forgot to add this pic of the dog tags that were with the patches. They are oval, but dated July 1944 for the Tetanus shot. Did the Waves not get the rectangular type or are these something else? Thanks, Al.

Sabrejet Posted August 20, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 20, 2011 The "trailing N" , as in the attached pic, and replicated on your CPO's patch is indicative of WW2 period. Post-war, the "USN" was in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
