Alec Posted June 3, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2012 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, Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36-tex Posted June 3, 2012 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelligerentBlue Posted June 3, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
