| Unidentified - Mystery Items See other UI/Mystery Items on: UI/Mystery Items
UI#384 - Red/Yellow Owl, notice the red "vees" in all but one corner???, any ideas on who used this patch?
 ( also on: NA, USAF SQDNS, Navy Main Patch page )
UI#383 - possible ID is VS-771 (Air Anti Submarine Squadron-771) at NAS Los Alamitos flying TBMs, AFs, and S-2Fs in the early-1950s, however I have not been able to verify that ID, anyone have a picture of a VS-771 squadron patch.
 UI#382 - "Tactical Command", similar to the old USAF TAC design but missing "AIR", possibly made in Japan, large patch, anyone know the timeframe or unit?
 UI#381 - 'THE ICERIDERS' 'WE LOVE IT ON TOP' '1', a female in red garter belt superposed on an ocean and blue sky, anyone know this patch? Looks like it might be a Crew patch for a VP SQ?
 UI#378 - Little Red Devil with Trident standing in Flames, Tab reads 'HOT TO GO', made in Japan, may have been trimmed short on the bottom or it may have had a tab removed.....I think I have seen a disc with this Devil that was a Navy Novelty patch(?).
 UI#377 - Horse's Head patch made in Japan/Okinawa, possibly the 319th TCS(Commando)?, anyone know an ID for the chess Knight?
 UI#376 - What is this, small item but it is heavy (weighs about 5 x USD quarters)?scanned at 600dpi
  UI#375 - anyone know the ID of this patch, it may not be oriented correctly?
 UI#374 - "BL&E" on a Maltese Cross with Swords, notice the "pierced" visor with rivet swivels, a lot of work went into this pendant/?, it is about 1/8" thick. Anyone know if the "Bird-in-Flight" on the helmet is indicative to any Country?
  UI#373 - "SEMPER ANTE MAXIMUS", Japan made, possibly a Naval Nuke (Training/Research?) site in New Mexico?....maybe an Electronics Squadron?
 UI#372 - 3 x ACES pocket patch on a USARV Jungle Shirt dated 1969, Subdued local made SP4 cloth rank on collar, Tapes are US ARMY NYLON style, SSI is a Merrowed-edge. Anyone ever see the "ACES" patch and know the unit it was worn by? (reference note: not mine, email on 110803, see UI box for info)
  UI#366 - a "Known" patch for many years but NO ID has been established, anyone know had to arrange the Numbers "437" or "7th SQ, class 43" or ?

  UI#367 - Mirror imaged Horse with RVN National Colors, SEA made (for my reference: see card in UI file)
  UI#368 - Major Nebo's Crew 8, Howling Commandos, large patch probably made in WESTPAC(country unknown) with PELLON backing(introduced into the States in 1950), the "Howling Commandos" is a term from old Comics/etc., (resembles a PI made patch but no one I have talked to will go for that??)

Items came together in an old Plastic-type sleeve for displaying on a person(?), High-Quality Printed patch on heavyweight white twill cloth, knife might be a Mauser Bayonet(?), an uncommon maker's trait is the broken blue trim line (anyone know a maker that did this in the 1940s?), patch could be a WWII unit? Very early DP form as it is number One.
  UI#371 - Foreign patches, need the IDs on: Top Row 3 and 4; Bottom Row: "PRAL", SCUBA.
Bottom right is Collector marked as "Syrian Airborne Brigade"

 UI#360 - "F I Gung-Ho", a larger version of this patch exists, "F I" is also on a 10th TFS "B" FLT patch, anyone know what "F I" means in Air Force speak? (Listed in ASMIC Trading Post Oct-Dec 1991 issue, page 50)
( Possibly associated with the 18th Airborne CORPS )
 (also on pages: USAF SQs, Ground Forces Airborne)

 UI#356 - 1940s to 1950s Chenille "LION" with submarine(?) in it's mouth patch....looks similar to the old VS patches = animal with a submarine in it's mouth.
 =========================================================================================================================

Both patches were brought home by a 7/15th ARTY Crewchief/Observer on a OH-58A, his callsign was "CE SUNDOWN 119" (or something similar)

3509HG - WWII Black Aerial Gunner's Jacket
USAAF Aerial Gunner's 4-pkt - early-model that the brass belt holders were removed.
Red Cross Flop House "Bed" Tickets dated November 1944 were found in pocket; also "used" Transportation tickets.
I believe he may have been stationed in South West England as one ticket has Chippenham written on it.
Armament Sleeve Badge and SSI are Bullion Thread; with extra black thread added to the USAAF Patch.
Two laundry/cleaning tags with his Name are stapled to the lining(one is visible in the top-two pictures).
The U.S. National Archives & Records Administration STATE ON THEIR SITE:
The last 4 digits of his SN stamped two places in the jacket match his Serial Number they have on record
He was a Residence of Wyandotte County, Kansas when entering the Army on 3/10/1940
He joined the Cavalry which explains the large 1st or 2nd Cavalry Divisions' shape and size stitch marks on the left SSI
He is listed as "NEGRO" in their records so I would assume he was in the 2nd Cavalry Division
The 2nd CavDiv was DeActivated twice: 1942 and 1944 so this NCO could have left the 2nd on either time of DeACT
Rank and Name on the two Laundry tags match his Rank and Name in the National archives
Jacket has had Corporal Stripes and a 8th or 9th AAF size SSI removed.
This has to be a RARE Jacket

   i Comments from a WW2 Badge Collector on this Gunner's Wing
( I have gisted his comments )
"............The gunner’s wing is perfectly legit. I’ve never seen that style of gunner’s wing with a hallmark before. Very cool even if it is filed off. One guess is that this could have been their graduation presentation badge. Those badges were not allowed to have a hallmark on them so perhaps someone bought the wings and filed them off. Doubtful though as by that time there were tons of wings available. The unique thing about this style wings is it’s the only style where the bullet is not applied over a circular target background. What a history you have in that uniform. My guess, and it’s just that, a total guess, is that it could be a Levelle hallmark.............."
