INIMICUS Posted April 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2017 I think these are late '50s, early '60s. I find zero refs. on the black boot. both from a navy careerist who served aboard the besugo. (sorry no name) many thanks, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted April 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 8, 2017 The second patch is the "black shoe Navy", as opposed to the brown shoe navy (and white shoe Navy) USS BESUGO was decommissioned in 1958 which is the era for your patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INIMICUS Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 8, 2017 thanks for the swift response, 'sailor! is the 'black shoe' patch (same era as basugo, yes?) scarce? and what's a fair value for them both, please? much obliged, david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted April 8, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2017 Yes, same era but as a novelty patch maybe $10-$15 The BESUGO patch would go for $20 to $50 to a submarine collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
