    Hi there,

    Got this patch in a box from an auction. I was wondering if anyone knows the specifics regarding the use for this patch or if it has any value? Thanks!

    I don't think that has any age - modern fantasy ?

    Value - very little.

    I have seen this in a pin, but not as a patch.

    I'll join in and say I have never seen anything like that before. As belasar said, I've seen pins of similar size before, but never a patch. Something just doesn't seem right about it. I'll say its some modern "reproduction", and probably has little value.

    Although others have chimed in with their opinions, we are not a valuation service. If it is important to you, then it has value and you should keep it.

    It's most likely related to something homemade or 'patriotic'. This was pretty common in Germany during the TR period...though highly illegal.

    As for value...it's a neat little piece of history.
