Cherokee Posted September 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2016 This patch came with the ID Mountain Warfare Training Center USMC 1st Design 1950s. I thought by looking at it that it was an ROTC patch. Any help with proper ID is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted September 15, 2016 There is one like this on ebay listed as Transportation Corps mule team. That seems rediculous to me also. Any ROTC experts out there? This seems like a school patch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted September 16, 2016 For anyone interested in the history and proper ID of this patch, a colleague of mine who is well versed in ROTC insignia has identified this patch as Western Texas College ROTC. The "M" stand for "Miners" which is the schools mascot. Patch is truly circa 1949-1951 and is the first design used as the later design removed the "M" and in 1967 the school became UTEP (University of Texas El Paso). Since this patch is being misidentified and apparently misrepresented fairly often, I hope this information is helpful. Thanks to those who took the time to research!
