Thor996 Posted February 18, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2021 I'd say it's a souvenir type patch and not a military use type patch. But I could be wrong. Let's see what the experts have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrustyBosun Posted February 19, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 19, 2021 I’m a former employee of the USS Lexington museum. I believe this is a souvenir patch. However, Lexington was opened as a museum in 1992 and I don’t believe this came from the ship’s museum store. The silhouette resembles her WWII appearance more than her 1953-55 refit configuration with the hurricane bow and updated island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
