As Didier said, this is a patch for the U.S. 2nd Infantry Division... a unit which is still active in modern times.

The green border is just a production variant in my opinion.

US Military Indian head or 2nd division patches never had a green border.
Only fake patches do. Look on E-bay.

I'm not so sure, Chris. I've seen green bordered 2nd ID patches being sold by some pretty reputable dealers.

I am putty sure about the border.

This type of patch is referred to as the 'green back' variant. WWII-era patches have a fuzzy white back on them, commonly referred to as 'snow'. Some early patches have this green background, and these tend to be a bit more desirable.

Then again, that's if it's real.

FAke being sold on E-bay.
Green backs are good patches the problem with this one is the border.
