Gunslinger Posted June 27, 2017 Share #26 Posted June 27, 2017 Gunslinger: I think that your printed patch might actually be an Icelandic "Sparta" theater made patch. Hinrik, The printed example i'd posted was made in U.K. by Calico. CDub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinrik WD Posted June 27, 2017 Share #27 Posted June 27, 2017 CDub, Thanks for that info. My friend (old time collector) owns a full uncut Sparta sheet with 8 patches on it. Sparta was a boys clothing shop on Laugavegur main street Reykjavik, which sold these patches to anyone during WWII. Comparing a photo of that sheet, with your patch, is a close match, but not 100%. Maybe Sparta and Calico used similar dies stamps to print the patches? Regards Hinrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
