EXTREMELY RARE, ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC handmade/hand-made/hand-sewn squadron patch from the US Navy's A-4 Skyhawk VA-76 "SPIRITS" (named after "Spirit of '76").  It depicts the "Tri-Corner" cap with the musket used in the Revolutionary War with a "LIGHT blue" hand-sewn background.

This patch has "no" backing, a "cut black" border, has a "fully hand-embroidered light-blue background", does not have velcro on the back, and shows the dimensions in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6".

This is from THE BEST INTRUDER PATCH COLLECTION I've ever seen, and comes from a retired US NAVY CAPTAIN's collection I just acquired, and hope to find this gem a good home.  

This is an original ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can. 

This is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the officer (obviously, an AVID patch collector) during his many years of service.
