manayunkman Posted October 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 17, 2011 Very nice patches. never seen them. M Link to comment
KurtA Posted October 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 17, 2011 The first one is a nice Japanese-made. I'd guess 60's-ish on that one. The second is US-made and just a little bit newer - 60's/70's. Link to comment

blitz67 Posted October 19, 2011 Share #8 Posted October 19, 2011 The E-City patch on twill is still used at the air station today. I don't know why or how they get it embroidered on twill but they do. I have several myself that were all purchased in the last 5-10 years from the base exchange. Brad Link to comment

If not, I have to think they have an old stock they're working off of. Kurt Link to comment
