RARE ARMY STANDARD BEARER'S SLEEVE PATCH
Rare Army Standard Bearers Sleeve Patch (Artillery) Super condition, un-issued; the patch is machine woven (BeVo) in three colors: aluminum thread (flatwire), bright red thread (Artillery branch color), and black thread all woven onto a thin, dark green rayon backing cloth. The insignia portrays two crossed Standards in miniature, with a Triad cluster of oak leaves in aluminum thread woven at the bottom center. The insignia was cut from a stock roll, which makes it essentially a large square of cloth. Excellent condition!
