VP-56 Patch Dragons


 Share

Recommended Posts

Picked this up recently, mainly because it looks so cool. Rather large - 5 inches across. USN Patrol Squadron 56 was in existence from 1946 to 1991. This patch would date from the earlier part of that date range. Really nicely made with ribbed embroidery. Has a Japanese-made "look" to it.

Haha. Sounds like the perfect evening, Robert!

I could probably sell this on Ebay as a Game of Thrones patch (for non-fans of the show, google Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons)

I think you are correct that this is an earlier patch.

 

No VP-56 scroll on the bottom and it seems that the earlier dragons were blue and turned to green, I’m guessing, late 50s or early 60s.

 

Very nice variation.

Here are a couple from I think early 60 or maybe late 50’s.

 

Ribbed details embroidered on twill.
