I bought this patch recently and i have no idea what it is!The shape reminded me of the 28th ID..but the heraldry is throwing me off.Anyone know?Apologies if this turns out to be non-US.

Pennsylvania National Guard, some of the older state guard patches used this design too. It has the Pennsylvania seal on it, also found on the state flag.

The 28th is and was drawn from the National Guard unit.

That is the Pennsylvania National Guard HQ. The rest of the PA 28th Division wear the plain red keystone. That patch is still worn today, I have one in ACU. I think you are correct the patch was probably made in the early 60's but it could have been still been issued thru the 70's depending on how big a stock of them they had on hand. Nice patch.
