I picked up a few years ago this 551 squadron chest transfer in unissued condition and also one which was on a piece of leather and had been sewn ( and I assume then removed ) from an A2 jacket. Can I please ask the experts out there if these are less common than the embroided versions ? And also ask if they have any value in this unissued format ?? Many thanks Jim

Jim, I've never seen any embroidered patches from the 385th BG. They were all decals on leather or silkscreened on a sort of stiff, canvas/rubber-like material. Jeffro
