Wake1941 Posted December 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2018 Just saw this patch, it is possibly a school or flight class patch? Or not even military. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Bearmon Posted December 5, 2018 Share #3 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 #5 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/ Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Posted December 7, 2018 Share #6 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Siamundo Posted January 5, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 5, 2020 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, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 5, 2020 Here is the second jacket with the same Fragrant 5 District patch. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaycees-Jacket-Patches-Pin-Florida-US-Yellow-Vintage-Rare/264588593212?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40718%26meid%3D73fa912191f04953847290c4097c5e6c%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D264588591372%26itm%3D264588593212%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A968ddad6-2f66-11ea-9a18-74dbd18092fc%7Cparentrq%3A739f695516f0ad4b226b8148ff95f72f%7Ciid%3A1 Link to post Share on other sites
Siamundo Posted January 5, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2020 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, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 6, 2020 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! Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Posted January 9, 2020 Share #14 Posted January 9, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
tredhed2 Posted January 9, 2020 Share #15 Posted January 9, 2020 Like the 4 Roses patch +1 and I'll drink to that and the "AAA School" patch Link to post Share on other sites
