Obviously painted post war. But was only 25$

I have this 15th Cavalry patch, but just checking, as I don't know if this is a German theater made patch or not. Does anybody know? It doesn't glow under blacklight.   Thank you.  

Nice find!

I am beginning research for a possible book on the WWII Courtland AAF Pilot Training Field on Courtland, Alabama. I have located several online articles but unfortunately most are only high level overviews and often repetitive information. I request your help in pointing me to books, online sites, or military/government reports which could contain more in-depth information. I am looking for information related to: the base layout maps, the construction process, the reason B-24 pilot training was moved from Chanute to Courtland, and stories about the field. Any help is appreciated.   Charles Cabler, Author, USAF 1962-1968

Harry Fleming, recieved on the 10th of July 1954 the Ulchi military merit without star, then as a Lieutenant colonel. He was a Military advisor in 1950 till he became a POW and was released in 1953.   Sampo

I found some stain. Here is the result. It came out much better than I expected. 

thanks

Steve, I wanted to look before commenting on the Geronimo patch. I'm pretty sure it's a pilot training unit flight patch. Most likely from one of the contract bases in the 50s-early 60s. Aircraft looks like a T-28. But, I can't find anything definite yet, so this is just a guess to see if it helps somewhat.   Randy

While serving as a FMF Corpsman with 2/2 Golf Company in early 2001, I found some of Dale's knives online and liked what I saw. I ordered one and once I received it, one of our officers liked it and ordered one with the bowie style blades. Then another Corpsman in Fox Company who I ran around with ordered one. We all carried them in Iraq. They served us well Iraq and I carried it till I retired in 2011. This year when I air out my gear, I will take some pics of the knife and post it here. I am saddened to hear of Dale's passing, and I will pass it on to those that I keep in contact with. I still have the knife and it is in my kit from my service. Eventually, it will end up on my I love me wall. Again, condolences on Dale's passing.  Tyler

Thanks.  This was brought up on another forum and one person said the symbol looks like a turtle.  The picture I posted was of a stacked rubber handled piece like the Korean War period ones that no one knows who did them.  Turtles figure prominently in Korean and Japanese symbolism.  These pieces may have been done or redone by a company in Korea and that is the company symbol.  We may never know who did it.
