ARTIFACT: This is an extremely rare World War II jacket patch for the United States Navy VF-2 (Fighter Squadron 2), aka the "Fighting Two" or the "Rippers". They were the third squadron to be named VF-2, the second one having been lost on the USS Lexington at the Battle of Coral Sea. This squadron served aboard the USS Enterprise and the USS Hornet with a high number of kills, especially during the "Marianas Turkey Shoot", where the squadron shot down 47 aircraft. The patch is in painted leather and shows a dragon decimating the Japanese flag.

VINTAGE: Circa World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 5-1/8" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Leather.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

CONDITION: 7+ (Very Fine+): The patch shows some small spots of light wear and has a few small staple marks.

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