I KNOW THESE PATCHES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. POSSIBLY PERIOD FOTOS, TOO.

 

HERE'S ONE IN WEAR IN A FOTO IN A COMPREHENSIVE ALBUM COMPILED BY A MARINE COMBAT CORRESPONDENT, A LT. WHO ENLISTED 1 1/2 YR. BEFORE PEARL HARBOR AND WAS ASSIGNED TO THE UNIT ABOARD THE BABY CARRIER 'USS BLOCK ISLAND.' (CVE-106).
