Need Opinions on Modern USAF Patches

[carbinekid]

Hi guys,

 

My local antique shop seems to have come upon a pile of modern USAF patches, some I suspect that may be theater made. What do you guys think of these? Can anyone give me a unit ID on them and an approximate value? They are all priced at around $3-$5.

I also apologize for the low quality of the pictures, they were taken with my camera phone in the shop.

:think: Well, some are Army and some may not be even military. #5,4 and 11 are Army. #5 i belive is the 35th Signal Bat. and #11 and 4 are the flash and wing oval for the same. I might be wrong on those two! :think: #14 might be an ROTC unit or civilian related. #7 is a German item. All the air force look good! :thumbsup:

All the USAF ones are typical US or computer made. The best ones are the 5 FIS F-106 and the 110 TFS, but there's nothing super great/rare there. Hope this helps, drop me a line if you need more info.

Thanks very much

 

I may go back and get 3, 8, 10, and 16. I like the older patches, 3 and 10. They are made just like WWII patches, I think they predate the 1960's.

Try to get a "lot" price deal as most of them are not really anything all that "rare" and most are "common" types , subdued patches usually aren't worth more than a Dollar most places I've seen them , unless they are of olde Viet nam era which I don't think these are .

just my 2 cents worth of advice take or leave it . The #2 patches are not worth no 3 dollars , no more than $1.00 each , pass if they don't come down on those.

back in the 1950's they used a 4.5" patches, sometime in the 1960's and up to present the Air Force used a 3" patch

 

I would go back and get the number 16, 5th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and the thousand series numbered patches, 4477th TES and the 4513th ATTG

The SAC patch and the master missile operators badge are priceless, the PACAF patch isn't worth much. I make this evaluation based on having spent 11 years as a SAC officer and MMIII missile combat crew member.
