Early WWII Printed US Army Kiska Task Force Shoulder Patch

This is a printed version of the United States Army shoulder patch for the Kiska Task Force (some members of the task force were also associated with the First Special Service Forces). Kiska is an Aleutian island that the Allied Forces "invaded" in 1943 but the outcome was rather anticlimactic as the Japanese had already deserted the island upon the troops' arrival. The patch shows a downward stabbing dagger.

Circa early World War II.

2-3/4" diameter.

Printed cotton patch.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MDFX07 LAGEX 5/10 SAEJX7/10

7+ (Very Fine+): Patch shows light wear, mostly a crease and two pinpricks.

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