WW2 Army & AAF Cloth Insignia
I have never seen this variation before and was very excited to have been able to purchase these patches. They all measure approx. 3 1/4" by 3 3/4" and are all theater made. Never saw this patch with the "475" embroidered on it. Patch #1 and patch #3 were worn, as evident by the thread and needle holes, while #2 was never worn. They are sold at $650 each. I have other patches from the same veteran also listed.
These are really neat, but not sure if they are WW1, inbetween or WW2. I got them from an old collection of some early and WW2 patches. The YMCA and the similar one are stitched in lines that give a slight appearence to chenille, but not the thickness. The other two patches are felt sewn on felt. All for one money.
