Early "Operation Deep Freeze" Jacket PatchNp> NO LONGER AVAILABLE

This is a circa 1955-1956 jacket patch for the initial "Operation Deep Freeze", a United States military foray into Antarctica to resupply American bases and establish a research facility. The codename now refers to the ongoing series of missions by the United States military into that region. The patch has a great golden anchor bearing a crest showing a penguin, honeybee, aircraft and ship.

Circa 1955-1956.

5-1/16" diameter.

Twill embroidered in cotton/silk/polyester threads with mesh backing.

This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJX06 LFEX9/10 SEJX3/13

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): Patch has some light wear and some small spots of slight discoloration.

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