John4022 Posted February 20, 2022 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2022 Yes, nice original small WWII Twill Raider patch. Great resource can be found here for 1st Marine Div & Raider patches: https://www.marsoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/WWII-Raider-Patch-Study.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0yf-69KlIafEdqiFDMYvHTUEauVW_Z1y1MrCz3Hej-lLe5p2f5ME7QckU Nice patch, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted February 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 21, 2022 I don’t think that is the shirt-sized patch on twill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a skull design that I’m unfamiliar with.

doyler Posted February 22, 2022 Share #12 Posted February 22, 2022 looks like a shirt size to me. Maybe just a maker variation or how the photo was processed giving blurred details in original print. Looking at the star at 4'oclock position how it touches the white border is to me the same at a shirt size or ones I have seen on blues etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted February 22, 2022 Share #13 Posted February 22, 2022 I wonder if that could be the fully embroidered version of the shirt size patch? That one seems to be missing from Doug's article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted February 22, 2022 Share #15 Posted February 22, 2022 One posted by MB Morley here on forum. Maybe twill and we see a bump on the skull on the twill and not on the embroidered base The star touch edges/ borders at 4 and 7 0'clock positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
