Original World War Two American Bullion Made Army Air Force Patch

Code: MZ39704

Website: https://www.militariazone.com/us-army-air-force-usaaf-badges-/original-world-war-two-american-bullion-made-army-air-force-patch/itm39704

A beautiful and original US Army, WW2 era, shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI).  The patch would have been worn on the shirts and jackets of US GIs who served in this unit.  Original period item.

This particular AAF patch is bullion thread on dark blue felt, possibly theatre made, but either way it would be private purchase rather than an issued item. The pattern of stitching on the rear shows this to be a hand sewn example. The cheesecloth backing, may indicate an Italian made patch.

65mm diameter horizontally across the centre.
