gunbb Posted May 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2022 So years ago I was hitting garage sales and asked about militaria . The women said " How about patches" . I said "OK" thinking a cigar box of miscellaneous stuff. Instead she brought out an album full of WW2 patches. She said she worked in a War Plant during WW 2 and when they made a patch, she took one home and put it in the album. At a Militaria show in Mesa, a guy told me one of the hardest patches to find was that of an Alligator launching Tanks. No I used to belong to ASMIC but he said that organization is no more. He belonged to some other one. Here are some of the patches . I have no idea what the navy ones are. So tell me what you think . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gap Posted June 19, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2022 The four smaller patches are legit US Navy patches. 1. Seabees 2. Early version of beach/landing craft personnel 3. Minelayers 4. Patrol Torpedo Boats The larger two are air squadrons, not sure but they look ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted June 19, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2022 ASMIC has been around since 1937 and is still here. There is a website and FB page for those interested. Correct names for #2 and 3: Navy Amphibious Forces (first design) Minecraft Personnel (sweepers and layers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
