Eric Queen Posted July 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2015 Or US bullion over cotton? The back is throwing me off. Either way, have not seen a lot of bullion XVI Corps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyDevil117 Posted July 8, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 8, 2015 By the back it looks Japanese or Korean made. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted July 8, 2015 That would make it post 1951 which I guess could be possible. For some reason it has more of a German feel to me but could be completely wrong. Still trying to learn about this stuff. It's really light and flimsy. Completely droops over you finger.

KurtA Posted July 9, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 9, 2015 Japanese-made. Korean War era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted July 9, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2015 The nice silk on the front and more importantly, the white reverse, are characteristics of being Japanese-made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberguido Posted July 9, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 9, 2015 Agreed with Kurt, real solid Japanese made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-tex Posted July 9, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 9, 2015 Agreed on the Japanese made. Korean made pieces tend to be less "fine" than the Japanese made pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 9, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 9, 2015 Chimming in late but thats classic Japanes bullion work.The thread embroidery is like the weave you see on First Cav patches and the white back as mentioned earlier. Great patch.Cant say I have seen one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
