TCSchultz Posted June 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2012 I recently found this patch from the US Coast Guard Air Detachment at Argentia Newfoundland International Ice Patrol and I'm curious as to it's vintage. It came with a grouping for a WWII USAAF P-47 pilot but his son was in during Vietnam so possibly he picked it up. I love the design and the color of it. Link to comment

Johnny Signor Posted June 15, 2012 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2012 Looks like 60's era type to me , try Googling the USCG base and then those titles on the patch , that should get you something about it . Johnny Link to comment
