Interesting collection.

Nice patches! The first ones with the black nails are British Made.

[Tonomachi]

Some beautiful examples of these patches just sold on eBay.  I got outbid on both pieces but I thought I would add them to this thread for future reference.

These seem to be early post-war made pieces, 1945-1947 period.

Many thanks for the period of manufacture as I thought anything with NEDERLAND was WW2.  What about this small Dutch Air Force grouping which I'm assuming is also post war due to the use of "Je Maintiendrai" instead of Nederland?

Yes, early 50ties.
