The SOE (Special Operations Executive), the UK version of OSS, operated out of Cairo in the latter days of World War II with heavy involvement in the Balkans and northern Italy. The wing came to us along with 3rd Contingent Operational Group shoulder patch in bullion that was probably made in the Balkans or northern Italy (sold separately Ð please see link at bottom of page for information).

VINTAGE: Circa early World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 1-7/16" in height and 3-1/2" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Khaki embroidered in silk threads.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a Great Britain and Commonwealth collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-LL-20-VBJJX12 LDIEX2/12 RET9/14

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The patch shows some light wear only.

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