10 1/2” Patch

Are these common? And does anyone know when they were given out and what for? Thanks, Todd

The one I've got was given to me by Don Findley. Not sure how many or when they were made, but I don't remember seeing them that often.

I have never seen one! That is pretty cool!

Don't recall who made those but they are not a factory patch. I have a couple, if i remember they are a thin material.

Here's a pic of it with the factory issued patches for comparison.

Hello Guys,

This large thin patch was probably intended to be sown on the back of a shop coat. I know Great Western Arms Co. had the same thing. I don't know if this one was a factory issue.

I think these large patches were an unauthorized "knock-off" done by someone wanting a jacket patch. I have one myself,, and I understand that there is a minor variation difference patch out there as well.

I have a couple and they are kinda fragile....I have one that was framed to protect it.

When those large patches were seen in the 1980's, it was said that they had come out of the Phillippines.
