RS95B Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This came with a group of patches that I picked up the other day. Can anyone tell what era this is from, and where it was made? I have never seen that burlap type backing on another patch. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
lamarhooten Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Is the material on the back made from the same type used in burlap sacks or is it just the same weave? I have seen british made ones with a very coarse weave backing material. Link to post Share on other sites
RS95B Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I do not think it is actual burlap. It does have the same weave, but is not as stiff to the touch. Almost feels like a real course cotton, or wool. Link to post Share on other sites
tredhed2 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I would suggest North Africa, WW 2. I have seen a few patches made there and they tend to be on the crude side. The designs are there, just somewhat crudely made. Member, ASMIC.Editor, ASMIC's The Trading PostASMIC Executive VP Link to post Share on other sites
