Flea market find this morning at $1 each. Also bought the standard US-made patches (8th AF, 9th AF, AF HQ, sgt chevrons, etc) that belonged to the same vet (all in same cigar box)

Both were made by the same manufacturer with the same materials. Being British-made would make sense for these two units, but I don't think so. Based on the distinctive thick "springy" border, I believe they are early German-occupation made. (same type of border I see on Constabulary patches, etc)

Let me know if you want to triple your money. =)

 

The ninth is killer. I have not seen that variation before. Great pickups!
