This is a beautiful gold and silver bullion on felt patch which I've had for about 40 years and I've tried everything I can think of to ID it but without luck. So, I'm asking the world out there to help me ID this patch.
If you know ANYTHING definitive about it, PLEASE assist and share your thought and knowledge. I'm at a complete loss about it and really want to know. Here's what I think: The continent shown on the patch looks to me like Australia and the helicopter looks like either a Hiller H-12E or a H-23 Raven both having been in use in the 50's-early 60's. The Raven was used for observation and training.
I could certainly be incorrect, however! Also the wings shown on the patch are definitely US Army Aviator's wings therefore it's a military patch. Please consider viewing my other listings (there are only about 100+) and adding me to your favorites list as I will be listing many more interesting and unusual items throughout the summer. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Militaria\Korea (1950-53)\Original Period Items". The seller is "winghunter" and is located in this country: US.
This item can be shipped worldwide.
