militbuff Posted August 4, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2013 I picked this up at the ASMIC show today at Ft. Belvior, VA. Does anyone know what era it dates from? Korean War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

militbuff Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted August 4, 2013 Bob, is there any way to be more specific, such as early, mid or late 50s? Thanks. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted August 4, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 4, 2013 Hard to pin point unless you were the person buying it. It seems New Itami was making most of their patches during Korea and for a few years afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36-tex Posted August 4, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 4, 2013 For what it is worth, I have seen these on Korean War era flight jackets. I would lean towards the 1950's made period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
