Took this out of my collection. Thinning down some areas...Approximately 6 " .. 1000% right. Beauty! Awesome theatre made patch, Great combat history. Africa, Italy, .. more.
Lots of character. ... no disappointments here. When I originally obtained this patch , it was on a huge torn piece of jacket material( A2?). I do not usually alter things I get but decided to trim away the damaged piece of material down to about 1/2" of leather as you can s...ee from picture. Painted leather patch still remains sewn down to leather jacket base as it was in WW2. Great combat / salty look to it. I originally thought this was Italian made but was advised it is actually a very early No African made version. One of the best squadron patches I have ever owned. Still have about 30 squadrons left to sell.
