Question about this cloth Tom Cat patch

Recommended Posts

I bought this patch yesterday at a gun show. It is made out of a cloth type of material. The 3/4 on the patch looks strange. It is much thinner stitching than the rest of the letters. I was wondering if anyone could please tell me more about this patch. Like when/where it was made. Is this a current patch?

 

Thanks so much for any help. ...Kat

Army Aviation?? Interesting. I did not do a search yet. I was posting a cool marksman badge I got so I posted this one before doing any searching.

 

Thanks for your help...Kat

It is cut edge,but it's of fairly recent manufacture,maybe the 3/4 was made that way due to space constraints?

I've been doing some google searching but no luck so far. Could the 3 be 3rd Battalion and the 4 something else?

I'm thinking German made in the 80's or perhaps sooner.They were a Scout unit,probably flying Kiowas?
