Wake1941 Posted October 24, 2019 #1 Posted October 24, 2019 This pocket hanger can with some US SF stuff but no one has had any luck identifying as an american piece.
stratasfan Posted October 25, 2019 #3 Posted October 25, 2019 Well, the fabric style looks US. But the design on the front looks more like an African headdress! Wish I could help! Hope you find out, as my curiosity is piqued.
Wake1941 Posted October 26, 2019 Author #4 Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks thats what I figured, it has to be at least 60s period based on the construction or even earlier
Wake1941 Posted October 26, 2019 Author #5 Posted October 26, 2019 Ive found some Ethiopian insignia made similarly to this
Nkomo Posted May 16, 2021 #6 Posted May 16, 2021 Agreed. This looks like an Ethiopian patch and I think it is pre-DERG, so would put it pre-1974 Haile Selassie time period. Seeing how the US did have a military mission there until the Marxist DERG took over in the 70s, this could have easily been brought back by a US Advisor. Hope this helps.
