November 14, 20187 yr #1 I have no information regarding this patch other than it being Czechoslovakian. The patch is embroidery on white wool like material. Is this pre-WW2, WW2 or post WW2? Does anyone know which specific unit wore these possibly on the shoulder or maybe as a pocket patch? Any ideas? it measures 2 inches wide by about 2 2/8 inches long.
November 14, 20187 yr #3 If memory serves, that coat of arms was used post-WWI until the 1960s. That fluffy felted wool is very different, especially to have the red shield appliqued. Byt the sewing style I would guess before WWII or a Free Czech during WWII.

I'm guessing this was worn on a dress uniform as the white wool would get fitly rather quickly if worn on a field uniform.
