Bugme Posted July 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2013 I got this patch as part of a patch collectors estate. 99.9% of these have been U.S. Military. However, I'm unable to identify this patch.Is it even U.S.? Any help would be appreciated "There is no such thing as an expert, only students with different levels of education."

Sabrejet Posted July 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2013 I think it's actually a wild boar....and possibly British...though I can't be 100% sure yet.

Jack's Son Posted July 25, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 25, 2013 At the risk of being a bore, I can not even think of a use for such a patch, maybe 4-H club? I'll go root around some more. **PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMMUNITY MEMBER HAS SADLY PASSED AWAY** http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/301020-robin-ray/ Link to post Share on other sites
Sabrejet Posted July 25, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2013 I was just trying to save your bacon Scott...didn't mean to hog the limelight! I was maybe thinking of this British formation patch. Doesn't your state of Arkansas have a "wild boar" connection? "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

hawkdriver Posted July 25, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 25, 2013 I was going to mention the Razorbacks of Arkansas. Their patch typically has the stars and bars around it, otherwise, I would say that probably is Brit. Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't your state of Arkansas have a "wild boar" connection? Like JS & hawdriver mentioned, the "Razorbacks" do have a boar as their mascot/logo, but I think their colors are red.

Garth Thompson Posted July 25, 2013 Share #23 Posted July 25, 2013 A member asked a legitimate question and gets one good response plus a bunch of really stupid ones.

Jack's Son Posted July 26, 2013 Share #24 Posted July 26, 2013 Garth, this thread should have been closed after post 12. It was not, and I'm sure the author had every possible ability to close it. A bit of fun is not a bad thing, and making disparaging remarks about such a fun thread is a surprise from you. **PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMMUNITY MEMBER HAS SADLY PASSED AWAY** http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/301020-robin-ray/ Link to post Share on other sites

R, The thread went from fun to silly to ridiculous in very short order. I had a discussion just this day with a very serious medal collector who could add a lot to the forum but will not due in part to threads degenerating pretty much like this one did.
