This is a U. S. Army, 1960's to 1970's style, issue, U S Army 457th Airborne Field Artillery Battalion, with red lettering, pocket patch, 100% embroidered, full color, with standard cut edge and no plastic backing, in brand new (never issued) direct from government contractor condition.  What you see is what you get. This patch was acquired from the stock of a manufacturer I bought out in early 1980. 

NOTE:  I will combine shipping cost.   

Nice insignia for any collection.  What you see is what you get.

Having sold my U. S. Military Insignia business (H. J. Saunders U. S. Military Insignia, Inc. - America's Largest Retail Insignia business) after 35 years, in November 2003, I am now selling my personal collection, many of which are government contractors samples, accumulated over the last 50 years.
