Lion101 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hello Everyone, I ended up getting this patch a while ago for $12.00, and I could not find it in any of my books. Would anyone happen to know, what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I don't have a lot of knowledge on the topic but I do a lot of shopping and I've never seen these leaves on any Japanese badges. Are you sure it is Japanese? I will be watching your post to see what the Japanese collectors have to say, and learn something for myself as well. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuoka Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I know next to nothing about patches but since it has both Army and Navy symbols, I would guess it is a veteran association patch of some sort. Not even sure if it is Japanese, as Brian stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion101 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 I found this on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320776611437...84.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuoka Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Lion101, saying 'thanks' even to replies that don't help you as much as you'd like is the polite thing to do. Abruptness to people using their own free time to help a stranger is--well, not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion101 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Oh, I am sorry that. I did not mean to be like that. Well, I thank everyone for that has help so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have looked through my Japanese reference books and cannot find any mention of this insignia. I suspect it is a post war fantasy creation rather than a genuine badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'd ask the seller how he/she knows, or why they believe that it is Japanese.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion101 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thank you all for your help. I have some questions for the seller, after this. However, it could be something new to field as well? Insignia from some type group that may had been around for only a few months or something.
