This patch was not worn, but has had some poor storage conditions over the last seventy years.

SIZE: Approximately 5-7/8" in height and 4-7/8" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Painted leather.

ATTACHMENT: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a World War II USAAF 23rd Fighter Group flight patch collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-RLB-VEJJX14 LABEJX3/14 SAAJJX4/14

CONDITION: 6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The patch shows evidence of some poor storage conditions although it is unworn.
