Beautiful CBI-Made USAAF 10th Air Force Bullion Shoulder Patch with Snaps

This is a beautiful bullion shoulder patch for the United States 10th Air Force. The patch made within in the China-Burma-India theatre, and shows two full wings stitched in golden bullion flanking the number 10 (which is highlighted by a silver bullion background). There is a single red-centered star at top.

Circa World War II.

About 2-5/8" in diameter.

Felt patch with silver and gold bullion wire and cotton gauze backing.

Three snaps on reverse which were attached to facilitate laundering of uniforms in tropical locations.

None.

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VGEX09 LAHEX SAEJX3/17

9- (Excellent+): Virtually no wear but some tarnishing of bullion threads.

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