Old patches in a box
Posted: Sun 02 Sep, 2007 5:51 pm
I was looking through an old box today full of stuff bought at air shows and other military events. I happened to find three patches at the bottom and I have no idea what they are or where they are from. 
1. A blue shield with a white border. It shows a white snake wrapped round a long hunting knife? That's also white.
2. Fairly square shaped, this too is blue with a white border but it shows two red knives (are they bayonets?) crossed over each other.
3. A red circle with a black ring around it. This shows two black triangles joined together at the point in the middle. Looks a bit like a bow tie/egg timer.
Does anyone know how to identify these? Can anyone here tell me what forces these patches belong to? Army? Airforce? They're not American are they?
