arno1940 Posted March 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2015 This multi-piece felt patch is 6" across. Looks like it might be WW1. Anyone recognize it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted March 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2015 My guess would be 23rd Bomb Squadron, unofficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arno1940 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks to Johnny Signor I've just located the patch in Maurer. When you need help in IDing a patch, or anyhting else in US militaria for that matter, USMF is clearly the place to go. Thanks again Johnny!

Johnny Signor Posted March 26, 2015 Share #8 Posted March 26, 2015 Always Glad to help with ID's of patches when I can , I see you already found it in Mauer & Mauer's book as I was going to suggest there Johnny Btw, that is a very Cool emblem , seeing as it has the "23" on it , it's possible it could be the earlier unit designation via the Mauer & Mauer info !
