501stGeronimo Posted May 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2013 Bought this patch years ago and just dug it out and thought to myself "The hell have I seen this", well here it is. Anyone know what it is? Wool felt material. I believe it is well before WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted May 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2013 The shooting star looks a bit like the shooting star on the 5th AAF patch. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawkhenry Posted May 26, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 26, 2013 Could be just decrative for the civilian market, What is the size scale? The stiching and construction appear to be forgen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501stGeronimo Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted May 26, 2013 It is the same size as a SSI, def. not a civilian market piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted May 26, 2013 Share #8 Posted May 26, 2013 I would venture it 's probably between ww1 and ww2, but it could be one of the WW1 "aero squadrons" , and yes I know that is most likely was not the BSA emblem, it just reminded me of it in the shape ...............................
