1950's USMC VMF(N)-513 Night Fighter Flying Nightmares Korean War squadron patch

Original used early 1950's United States Marine Corps Marine Fighting Squadron Night 513 squadron patch. VMF(N)-513 initially flew F7F Tigercats and F4U-5N out of Pusan West K-1 providing the only night fighter / interdiction on the Korean peninsula in 1950-51 then transitioned to the F3D-Skynight Jet fighter and escorted B-29 Superfortress on night time missions over North Korea recording the first radar kill of an enemy jet and scored 10 night victories during the war. Patch is US embroidred with a cut edge.

Patch measures 4.6 inches and is in very good used condition with spots of toning on the front and moderate wear from being on a G-1 flight jacket or a flight suit (Please see photos for the best description).
