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!

There were hundreds of those in that auction.

 

One lot was several hundred unnamed ones.

 

I think they are fairly modern early 2000s.

Monty was probably in either VA106 or VFA106  depending upon the timeframe. The Gladiators

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.

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.

If I remember correctly there were about 10-15 lots of named tags.

 

They also had many Navy rates and squadron patches.

The Hass name tags are from VF-143. 
 

Monty got tags from VF-102, VF-33, and VF-74
