Legion Posted September 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2020 Hello All, I have had this grouping for years. Until last week they were glued in a picture frame. I found it interesting the Chaplin patches were glued together with the rest of the patches. Anyways, does anyone have a story on the Vatican Tech Rep patch? I have been researching but have found nothing. I assume it is Chaplain related. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 12, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2020 Looks like a typical Thai made party suit patch. Aircraft companies had Tech Reps at the bases to help with various issues. This appears to be a play on that, I would assume from a Catholic chaplain. Nice grouping! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted September 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2020 The Chaplain patches are unique, have never seen either before. Agreed for a party suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted September 12, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2020 I agree with Randy. I think Vatican Tech Rep is simply a novelty patch for a Catholic Chaplain. Corporate tech reps were there to solve technical issues in the field. One could say chaplains were doing the same on religious and moral manners. Neat item.

644td Posted September 19, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 19, 2020 Can’t tell you anything about the patch other than it’s not Catholic. The patch has a the Christian cross and The Ten Commandments for the Jewish Chaplain. The Patch is an oddity. marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 19, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 19, 2020 We were talking about the Vatican Tech rep patch. the other I believe is the generic USAF Chaplain Service patch showing the two prominent denominations at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1 Posted September 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted September 19, 2020 The blue patch with the Cross and Tablets of Stone with the eagle on top, belongs to the Department of the Air Force, Chaplain Service. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
