Siamundo Posted April 5, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2013 I picked this up recently and had not seen one before. it is embroidered on twill and about 4" high. With the flat or cut edge it might date from the 1960s. I could not really find any examples on-line of this particular patch being worn, but there is a photo on wikipedia of a drum major wearing a very similar patch on a sash. His appears to be more ornate, perhaps bullion, and does not have the bottom scroll. Does anyone know anything about this particular version and who, where, or when it would have been worn?

teufelhunde.ret Posted December 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 18, 2014 Like many elements of their band uniform, the patch was designed to incorporate features from the 1875 shako plate. If you look closely at their uniform, there are many other elements which represent uniform designs of the 1800s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted May 22, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 22, 2019 Here's one image, note too the one worn on the baldric has no scroll, perhaps this cloth one is a blazer patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
