ARTIFACT: This is an extremely rare Chinese Occupation Period Chinese-made jacket patch for the United States Marine Corps Marine Fighter Squadron (VMF-211), also known as the "Wake Island Avengers". The squadron was at Wake Island the day after the Pearl Harbor attack and more than half of their aircraft was promptly destroyed by the Japanese. The squadron held out and eventually repulsed the enemy. The patch is wafer-thin and is in inked and tooled leather with a double black border. Its design shows a red lion jumping over the word WAKE and a representation of the Wake Islands in red.

VINTAGE: Circa 1945-1946.

SIZE: Approximately 3-1/2" diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Inked and tooled leather.

ATTACHMENT: N/A.

MARKINGS: N/A.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Marine Corps collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEJX10 LACEJX12/10

CONDITION: 8 (Excellent-): The patch shows light wear only and no measurable fading.

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