August 1, 20169 yr #288 Just picked up this one today. Nice piece! This now makes three variations of this particular SACO silk embroidered patch that has surfaced over the years. You would think that something this rare would not have that many variations.

August 16, 20169 yr #291 Where did the first USN Astronauts train in their high altitude pressure suits? U.S. NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND - SPACE TRAINING UNIT (1959) Not into Navy patches, but that is a cool patch.
August 16, 20169 yr #293 Killer Dave, Here's another rare one that wouldn't fly in today's military The first 12 Nurses who passed the NASA astronaut training course in 1973 although they were never cleared to fly in the space program. I think they were Air Force? Still need more research on this one
October 17, 20169 yr #295 This is patch is so rare I don't remember what it is . I know it is a WWII squadron patch but I don't remember which one. I really need to start writing things down because my memory sure is slipping. I really need to start wri....did I already say that? anti_sub_fro.jpg 11th Antisubmarine Squadron
October 24, 20169 yr #296 Some great looking patches members have posted. I didn't see these posted so here's my small contribution First up an Ultra Rare British Mission to Balkans (also known as British Military HQ in the Balkans) and a British Mission to Greece. Both of these insignia have a connection with the SOE and OSS. Second a very hard to find matching pair of British Troops in Norway. The British were issued a pair and the U.S. were issued a single patch in 1945 when disarming the Germans in Norway. Enjoy CDub
