Wedgehead30 Posted January 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2017 I picked this up the other day with some embroidered felt Patch King patches. They all were glued on something at some point. This particular patch doesn't have the normal characteristics of a felt Patch King patch. I'm just wondering if it might actually be an original WW1 era patch or just someone's cut and paste project.

gomorgan Posted January 3, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2017 I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling on this one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted January 3, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2017 I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling on this one at all Actually, it looks a bit too fuzzy to me. And, I have to say...adding the glue/paper was a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedgehead30 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted January 4, 2017 I just looked at this thing again. The three little triangles are not stitched, they're glued. I'm pretty sure that would not be in keeping with WW1 era multi piece patch construction techniques. At least any I've seen, which doesn't mean much. I would think the technique would have been to simply stitch on a white triangle with black thread.... Looks like I just answered my own question...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
