vintage SELF-PROPELLED GUN ARTY SCHOOL FT. SILL PATCH???

[wolfgangster]

was informed by not-so reliable source.....that shown patch was for SELF-PROPELLED ARMOR GUNS

ARTILLERY SCHOOL FT. SILL.....?  it certainly has the right type of patch design motif to suggest so.....

odd patch....although not as small as to be a o/s cap roundel.....it 2.5" diameter appears too small to be a SSI either.

besides its correct identification.....wondering how it was worn on uniform or fatigues.

guessing late 1950's into 1960's decade......

cut edge, full machine embroidered on twill base.....so definitely a period made patch.....

 

has anyone seen this one before??? 

THANKS.....

It has all the looks of being a latin or south american patch IMHO. Nothing comes up with google or bing reverse image searching though.

I bet it’s French.

 

Thats a French tank, the AMX-13.

[wolfgangster]

gentlemen....you're probably correct.....foreign....

and FRENCHY....

that outer ring design should have clued me in....

thanks again for the assistance....

The patch is from the Dominican Republic. The red, white and blue boarder is taken from their flag and all their patches have it.

Impressive how your "not so reliable source" pulls such a specific ID out of apparently no where 

[wolfgangster]

he was using the patch design to hypothesize....

but now its been narrowed down to DOMINICA REPUBLIC from FRENCH

as its foreign....and not US.....there is probably little interest in the patch
