Post WW2 U.S. Squadron
Patches: Naval Aviation, Ship Patches, Submarine Patches, Helicopter Unit
Patches, U.S. Air Force Patches, Marine Aviation Patches, Marine
Unit Patches & Selected Foreign Squadron Patches, etc., as
available. |
|
Note: As the post WW2 US military quickly grew, many different patches suddenly
appeared, creating “Officially Authorized Patches,” “Unofficially
Authorized Patches,” “Unofficial Patches,” “Unauthorized
Patches,” “Fantasy Patches,” as well as, reproductions of rare and
exotic patches, all to satisfy the military, as well as, the never ending
need of the collector. In
some cases, its reasonable to assume, that existing stocks of WW2 period
produced patches were used until exhausted, making it difficult to
determine exactly when a particular post WW2 merrowed edge patch had its
début. Generally speaking, patches containing the “New Army Green
Color,” do not appear before 1957; the merrowed edge patch started to
appear in 1968. In 1970, “subdued” unit and rank insignia was
officially worn on field and combat uniforms; although some “subdued”
shoulder insignia was actually worn before that date. Some of the patches
actually used today, appear the same as WW2 patches except for the
material content, (not 100% cotton), backing material and the addition of
the merrowed edge. Many of the post WW2 patches we offer are one of a kind
from collections we have purchased; some are factory samples, factory
closeouts or overruns; some are the patches we normally sell to local
units in our store and some were actually from the specific unit. When possible, we will
include background and historical information about a particular patch, however, some patches
will remain a mystery as they defy any attempts of research.
