Navybean Posted December 21, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2016 I picked this M422A up a couple of years ago and I can not identify the squadron patch on the chest. The jacket is has a USN name tag and a twill type squadron patch. Can anybody ID the patch for me? I would appreciate any help. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted December 21, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 21, 2016 Interesting patch.I really like the design.Not sure of the ID.Sometimes the Reserve units can be tough to pin down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybean Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted December 21, 2016 when I first saw the patch I was not even sure the patch was military but it matches same thread the name tag was attached to the jacket with. It also appears to be similar in construction to other 50's era squadron patches I have seen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
