stratasfan Posted October 25, 2019 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted October 26, 2019 Ive found some Ethiopian insignia made similarly to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo Posted May 16, 2021 Share #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.
