USMC 1st Division Patches

Not a patch guy so I am pretty sure the twill patch is a repro, but the other two seem to have the correct aged feel and construction of being WWII. Opinions please.

 

Thanks,

They appear to be WWII vintage. There are 1st USMC ones made in twill, so that could be a good one. But without it in hand it is tough to really tell. Do you have the ability to black lite it?

I'm not much of a patch guy myself. But I'm pretty sure the snake one wasn't approved for uniforms and that it's kind of unusual.

the "snake" is a 2nd Division variation made after their participation at Guadalcanal.

It was unofficial, but was worn.
