0bx Posted January 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2011 This patch is just a little larger than normal. It passes both the blacklight and burn tests but the back of the patch is unusual. It is almost as if after the red thread was embroidered, the back of the patch was covered and then the EGA and wings were embroidered? Any ideas or opinions? WW2 era patch or no?

Teamski Posted January 30, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2011 Unfortunately, no. It is an Asian made patch probably made for wear on jackets. This type of embroidery is typical of the 1960's and 1970's USN cruise patches. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charleston Posted January 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2011 Yes, it is definitely not WW2. But it is a sweet patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
