Guaranteed original, this rather unique CPO rate patch was worn on an Officer's Aviator Winter Working Uniform circa. 1940s. It has been discussed on the ASMIC (American Society of Military Insignia Collectors) forum and feedback from other collectors confirmed the authenticity of this patch. The hand-embroidered wings are an atypical feature that beautifully complements the typical heavy bullion elements and machine-sewn red wool chevrons. It is speculated that this Naval Aviation Pilot could not obtain a working green chief rate in his speciality and had to have this custom made on a ship.
Like all our other products, our insignia is intricately researched, verified by reputable sources, guaranteed to be 100% original and comes with a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
