doyler Posted April 4, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2018 Looks to be on blue Wool. SHAEF was on Black SHAEF turned into USFET USFET then later became US ARMY EUROPE I'm thinking this an error not having the full color rainbow or someones fantasy patch...but not SHAEF In Memoriam:Lieutenant J.Kostelec 1-3 First Special Service Force MIA/PD 4 March 1944 ItalyI HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY AND IT IS DAYLIGHTForget about the tips..We'll get hell to pay (AC/DC)"If you cant get out and run with the big dogs then sit on the porch and bark at the cars going by.."

gwb123 Posted April 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 4, 2018 Your wrapper has a Zip code on it. That means it is no older than 1963. I would guess this was not made for military use, but rather a civilian novelty patch. Interesting, none the less.

tredhed2 Posted April 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted April 4, 2018 This is supposed to be USAREUR, but it's not. There has been an article pubbed in the Trading Post (AJ 2008, Rag Clippings) ) on this and other patches and a new one will be pubbed in Jul-Sept 2018. This is one of a series of patches made for the collector market - never issued, never worn, not made for military use.

36thIDAlex Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted April 5, 2018 I appreciate the responses from everyone. It was in the original packaging and only a buck so I took a chance on it. It is always helpful to learn about the things made for collectors though, as it'll help with distinguishing possibly more valuable things down the road. Thanks! GEN. David R.
