phillock Posted May 28, 2015 I really like this one. Ordnance Inspector. The base is on an overall uniform type fabric. Screen Shot 2015-04-18 at 11.40.06 PM.jpg Hi Steve The fabric is called Herringbone its regarded as a Twill fabric. This would of been a lighter weight material used than the heavier HBT or Herringbone Twill uniform . I like variations like this compared to the standard twill used in most patches.

phillock Posted May 28, 2015 Here is a bit of proof on this patch Screen Shot 2015-05-03 at 9.57.36 PM.jpg Great to see documentation with this patch. I always wondered what the relationship between the Army and Auxiliary Military police. Do you think that they would of only come under ASF for all branches assigned to ASF??

Do you think that they would of only come under ASF for all branches assigned to ASF?? Phill I bought the patch on eBay for $10 but the patch with certificate was $20-25. Since I only collect patches, I just went with the patch. It could be the camera, but it appears the thread was orange and yellow for these. It probably was ASF only as seen by this below patch. It is neat to see that the certificate above was ordnance. -Steve OEF 11-12 veteran WWW.WW2PATCHQUILT.COM ASMIC #5169 Buying WW2 Home Front patches (mirror patches, anything with a V or Victory, war manufacturing patches, air depots, sub depots, training school squadrons, etc...)

ocsfollowme Posted June 30, 2015 Rolls Royce Packard built Aircraft Engines manufacture wings. Together, they created the Merlin engine for the P-51 Mustang. http://www.stallion51.com/p51-flight-ops/p51-merlin-engine.shtml "Few would dispute the Battle of Britain was won as a result of the Merlin II and III. Another significant development was the brilliant discovery of a simple idea, by Royal Aeronautical Establishment scientist Miss Shilling: A small metal diaphragm in the float chamber of the carburetor enabled the engine to continue running during negative G situations in combat." -Steve OEF 11-12 veteran WWW.WW2PATCHQUILT.COM ASMIC #5169 Buying WW2 Home Front patches (mirror patches, anything with a V or Victory, war manufacturing patches, air depots, sub depots, training school squadrons, etc...)
