May 11, 20215 yr #1 Picked these up at an ASMIC show in Portland OR a couple years ago. I really like them, but the dealer didn't know what they were used for, and neither do I. Also would like to find more of them if anyone knows a source. They are small, about 1 1/2 × 1 15/16 inches. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Ken.

May 19, 20215 yr #5 This is what he said: These are squad level patches of individual divisions. ie. lower right is 8th squad of 636 division. The "bat" is usually Air Defense This is the most identifiable one. I'm guessing there are hundreds and hundreds of different ones
May 19, 20215 yr Author #6 These are so different from the the tags, (patches), they wear, very small. Attached photo is for size comparison. Thanks for the info Working Dead.
September 11, 20214 yr #8 It's a bit late but as said earlier these are very specific to small unit training or qualification courses. They are not standard army issue just something you can choose, like a T-shirt or a hat. They are not worn as part of uniform. Steve.
