WWII Italian-Made Bevo-Weave Shoulder Patch for US 5th Army

This is an Italian-made bevo-weave shoulder patch for the United States 5th Army. The 5th Army saw combat largely in the Mediterranean during World War II and has since been renamed United States Army North. The patch shows the silhouette of a Byzantine-style domed building and reads A5.

Circa World War II.

2-5/8" height and 2-1/2" width.

Red, white and blue bevo-weave silk/rayon patch.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEL98 LFJX 5/10 SFJX6/10

8+ (Excellent): Patch is brilliantly colored and the reverse is almost as attractive as the front.

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