ARTIFACT: This is a fantastic and huge Korean War jacket patch for the United States Navy VA-195 (Strike Fighter Squadron 195), as worn aboard the USS Princeton (CV/CVA-37). Originally nicknamed the "Tigers" and later known as the "Dambusters", VA-195 came out of their retirement from World War II flying support missions for the Marines into North Korea, serving aboard the Princeton from 1951 through 1952. The squadron later upgraded to performing air strikes. The patch is Japanese-made and shows a tiger and a multi-colored tropical bird riding a red missile. We have one other patch for sale separately that was also worn aboard the USS Princeton during the Korean War and came to us along with this patch (please see link at bottom of page for information).

VINTAGE: Circa 1951-1952 (Korean War).

SIZE: Approximately 7-1/4" in height and 6-1/4" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Fully embroidered in cotton/silk/polyester thread.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEJP13 LGIEX8/13 TRDJJX9/14

CONDITION: 8 (Excellent-): The patch has only very light wear.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
