otter42 Posted April 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2015 I bought this years ago thinking it was something from Operation Urgent Fury, but have never been able to ID it. My gut says it's from a school or something like that. Thanks for any help, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted April 2, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2015 It looks like it's incorporating the general shape and colors of the 82nd.I have no idea what the "crest" in the center signifies.It may be a Grenadian piece.Neat patch though.

otter42 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted April 3, 2015 You know I never realized that it does have the look of the 82nd. Thanks for the input, I guess I will put in with my Grenada patches after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted April 3, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah the patch definitely incorporates some design elements from the 82nd.Finding out what the "crest" in the center area of the patch design represents will be key in ID'ing this piece.

gunbunnyB/3/75FA Posted April 3, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2015 might have been a unoffical pocket patch, great looking tho, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Rock_EasyCo Posted April 10, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 10, 2015 I don't recognize it. The prevalent Urgent Fury patches from the early 80's were the "No Way Jose" patch. A couple of others plus some pins but this one doesn't ring a bell. Definitely an 82nd type patch. Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted April 10, 2015 Share #7 Posted April 10, 2015 Somehow, it just doesn't look US to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted April 10, 2015 Share #8 Posted April 10, 2015 It does resemble the 82nd A/B patch, but I think thats as far as it goes as being a U.S. patch.My guess would be a local militia unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted April 10, 2015 Share #9 Posted April 10, 2015 I know almost nothing about Army patches as far as units etc.. But the construction of this one looks like it was made in Taiwan, if that helps. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted April 11, 2015 Share #11 Posted April 11, 2015 All the Grenada "Urgent Fury" patches that I've seen are commemorative souvenir,or "novelty" type pieces. Here is a link to a thread I posted some time back regarding these patches: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/171554-operation-urgent-fury-patches-and-badges/?hl=%2Bgrenada+%2Bpatch&do=findComment&comment=1627644 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter42 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted April 14, 2015 thanks, I had looked at those and that what got me thinking about this patch. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
