BILL THE PATCH Posted April 30, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 30, 2021 Nice pick up, is it really leather or could it be a piece of coconut shell?, I've never seen a leather one beforeSent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted April 30, 2021 Share #3 Posted April 30, 2021 looks like coconut shell carved and painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted April 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted April 30, 2021 I've seen coconut shell crests before for the 158th, but have never seen one in leather. Now for the fakers to start churning leather ones out! 🤣 Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cagedfalcon Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted April 30, 2021 Maybe it is coconut? Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted April 30, 2021 Share #7 Posted April 30, 2021 It's coconut. There are coconut DIs for other units - 6th Ranger Bn, a 5th AF/93rd Air Service Sq - and one for another 5th AF unit, just can't recall the unit designation. There is a seahorse which may be for the Army Amph Trng Cmd, but can't verify it. All were done in the Philippines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it these were done post war?Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
