Vanity Identify this patch
Posted on 01/29/2019 10:24:42 PM PST by jdirt
Hi Guys, I found this in the attic. My father was in the WWII and he made Normandy. This emblem is on a dark green "Genuine Basque Beret" that was made in England. I searched the whole internet and can't identify it. I even tried google image search. Thank you
The patch has a black background. The two gold stripes are outlined with red stitches. The rest is gold stitches.
TOPICS: History; Military/Veterans; Miscellaneous; Reference

Gods, Graves, Glyphs, basically mostly ancient history, but a lot of people on the list have general history interests.

Those types of patches are called “beret flashes” — might help in looking it up.

Some of the smartest historians on Free Republic.

It does appear to be based in the Washington family coat of arms. Which I think is reflected in DC’s flag.

Spent 10 minutes looking online but nothing matches. I’d like to find out too, please ping me if this mystery is solved.

Very much so, albeit in gold instead of red and blue.

Thank you, I did look under usa flashes. I also looked for British and french military patches.
This shouldnt be so hard but it is. I can’t explain it.

The similarity is unbelievable but certainly in the wrong color.
I also checked out the pin interest article but they don’t address patches or flashes.
Maybe its not military or anything to do with WWII? I just am kinda baffled really.
