tredhed2 Posted April 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2007 Quilted patches were made in Japan, and refer to a technique used to hold the front of the embroidery down, and is noted by the "grid" on the front of the patch. This 472nd PFA Bn patch is one of my nicer airborne patches. It is all silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted April 21, 2007 I like them if they're good...... there is a lowlife on Ebay who has sold some fake quilted pieces, but since he doesn't understand why they were made, he can't quite get them correct.
