Nic Posted November 2, 2020 #1 Posted November 2, 2020 Although I am not much of a Navy collector, I came across these name patches and couldn't pass them up. I researched a few of the names and squadrons, but haven't been able to identify what squadrons the three with "Monty" on them belong to. Any help with those would be appreciated. Thanks!
manayunkman Posted November 2, 2020 #2 Posted November 2, 2020 There were hundreds of those in that auction. One lot was several hundred unnamed ones. I think they are fairly modern early 2000s.
Bearmon Posted November 2, 2020 #3 Posted November 2, 2020 Monty was probably in either VA106 or VFA106 depending upon the timeframe. The Gladiators
Nic Posted November 2, 2020 Author #5 Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks for the help on the ID Bearmon. I appreciate it. I was able to match up the squadron assignments of some of the pilots. They all seem to put these name plates dating to the early 1990s. Plus,the Starfighters (VF-33) was disestablished on October 1, 1993, so I can't imaging them being newer than 2000. These came from E-Bay. The seller had a few lots of these patches, but no where near several hundred and all were named.
manayunkman Posted November 2, 2020 #6 Posted November 2, 2020 These were sold at a recent auction and then put on eBay. The auction had one lot with hundreds of unnamed tags from many different squadrons all in tied together bundles.
manayunkman Posted November 2, 2020 #7 Posted November 2, 2020 If I remember correctly there were about 10-15 lots of named tags. They also had many Navy rates and squadron patches.
Nic Posted November 2, 2020 Author #8 Posted November 2, 2020 Manayunkman, thanks for the additional information as to the origin.
hink441 Posted November 13, 2020 #9 Posted November 13, 2020 The Hass name tags are from VF-143. Monty got tags from VF-102, VF-33, and VF-74
