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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 25, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 25, 2013 ARKANSAS...... Well, that explains it! SOOIE, SOOIE.....PIG, PIG, PIG!! The Razorbacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 25, 2013 Hey....wait a minute. Scott's home state is Wisconsin, so much for pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamski Posted July 25, 2013 Share #16 Posted July 25, 2013 As mentioned above, the patch is the Hampshire County Division. I have a pair of these in my formation sign collection. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Any wonder there are quite a few members who no longer post anything from their collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
