Bearmon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 On the L-J Militaria site the "Fragrant 5 Region" was ID'd as an "SR-71" related piece Link to post Share on other sites

gwb123 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 On the L-J Militaria site the "Fragrant 5 Region" was ID'd as an "SR-71" related piece That would be the Lee-Jackson Militaria website, which has some of the best photographs of insignia on the internet. https://www.ljmilitaria.com/ Gil BurketOmaha, NESpecializing in Fakes and Reproductionsof the Vietnam Warburkcats@hotmail.com "One is easily fooled by that which one loves."

Randy Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It does, but be careful as far as some of the USAF IDs. The OP patch has never to my knowledge had a reliable ID. Not trying to stir the pot, just saying to be careful and be sure... Randy MSgt USAF (Ret) Link to post Share on other sites
Siamundo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Saw this on ebay tonight and thought it might help narrow this down. Seller also has a second vintage Jaycees jacket listed with this same patch on it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaycees-Jacket-Patches-Pins-Buttons-Florida-US-Yellow-Vintage-Rare/264588591372?hash=item3d9ab5810c%3Ag%3AahcAAOSw3F5eEUK4&LH_BIN=1 Link to post Share on other sites

Siamundo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Same seller from Florida also has a group of 40+ loose Jaycees patches including 4 of this patch. One of them actually has FLA JC on the patch so this may help pinpoint this as being a Jaycees patch from Florida. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MILITARY-EMBROIDERED-PATCH-VINTAGE-SET-OF-47/264588633299?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40718%26meid%3Dfc9802a72c074868a79b6962a01bf2b1%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D264588633299%26itm%3D264588633299%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A6080410f-2f6d-11ea-8dd3-74dbd180585f%7Cparentrq%3A73cbe73416f0abc31c88d247ffb08018%7Ciid%3A1 Link to post Share on other sites

gwb123 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Thank you gentlemen for the positive ID! I am sure this patch has haunted many a collector who hoped it was a Skunk Works patch. I assume after this gets more widely read quite a few of them will be pulled from collections shortly!

Randy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Good job putting this one to rest. Way too many patches with bad IDs out there due to folks "wanting" it to be something special. Randy MSgt USAF (Ret) Link to post Share on other sites
