Help with leather AAC jacket patch

[blademan]

Hi,

 

I just picked this patch up today and wondering if anyone could tell me what it stands for. I assume it is a AAC Jacket patch in leather. Also, does it look period? I was told it came from vets son first hand.

 

Your help is appreciated in advance.
