    Hi all.

    I am sure I will have more luck getting information here than, urm, somewhere else.

    I got this patch yesterday. Now to my untrained eye it looked good enough to be WWII. The olive backing, the weave, the white bobbin thread on the back.

    But have had a comment or two that it is post war.

    Can someone here please tell me what sets it apart and if not WWII what age does this item belong to?

    I am yet to do UV tests on it.

    Under UV the entire olive backing lights up so clearly not wartime. Funny that the white stitching does not glow obviously.

    That is a custom patch ... the tab and box are always separate.... Humm...it is vexing

    I think it is 50s early 60s
