Late 1950s Japanese-Made US Navy HS-8 Jacket Patch

This is a late 1950s Japanese-made jacket patch made for the United States Navy's 8th Helicopter Scouting Squadron. The patch shows a spiked eight ball on a chain resembling a mace being held by a winged scarlet glove.

Circa late 1950s.

4-5/16" diameter.

Fully embroidered patch with multi-colored cotton threads with a muslin backing.

This is from a United States Naval patch collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MAJX97 LHEX SeVAAEX03/03/23

5+ (Fine-): Patch has been partially discolored by what may have been a coffee stain.

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