Extremely Rare Original Locally Made Patch for 3 Contingent US Operational Group (USOG)

This is an extremely rare patch as it was only awarded to the Greek or Yugoslavian-speaking Americans that formed the 3rd Contingent of the US Operational Group (USOG). This was a field unit of the OSS performing insurgent operations behind German lines in Yugoslavia and Greece. This is a locally made patch.

Circa World War II.

3.25" in diameter.

Black wool with yellow embroidery thread.

VBJXM07 LEIEX SEJJX3/11

6- (Fine): This is an excellent example despite the small flaws. Five total moth holes, three at upper left and two around anchor. Embroidery is solid and black wool is unfaded.

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