I've always loved collecting Marine Corps memorabilia from WW2. recently I've grown very fond of the Raiders. I was just curious if anybody had any more info on these two patches I own. I know a good bit but would just like to have a better understanding of the different makers and styles.

The first one is an original "Casper" style patch. Wosk tag is nice to have; well known seller of US patches during and after the war. His daughter continues to sell NOS on eBay, still with the original Wosk tag. 

 

Second examples is more contemporary, in my opinion. Too much khaki material around the edges, and plastic backing screams post-war.
