Wow that’s awesome! I would have never thought that it would be a whole molded piece. Looks really realistic as well. Nice find 👍

The British are known for a wonderful dry sense of humor, but the backside of an elephant would be a bit much. Yes, the 27th used [the side view] of an elephant as their mascot (their first aircraft was the Martinsyde G.100 "Elephant"), but there were others as well. Likely not "Nellie" given the backside viewpoint (non-RAF?), but if you contact the RAF (below) they may be of help identifying the insignia.   https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/squadrons/    

Right, if it is the NDSM, it will date the photo to around that time 53-54.

Saw this for sale. I love these older patches, but what unit does it represent? T-Y in advance.  

Thanks very much   Harvey 

I don't have a copy at hand but  Stanton's  UNIFORMS OF THE VIETNAM WAR has some good pics of this uniform being worn.  

Received this today. A prop holster and gun as used in Saving Private Ryan. It’s all molded rubber and looks so incredibly real. This is the first of these that I have seen. I saw and owned the rifles, bayonets and helmets but never a pistol rig. I really enjoy collecting props and own several. This ranks pretty high on my like list. Thanks for looking.

NDSM established in 1953.  

Found that also just an intresting bag for rapid deployment.
