It is a theater bullion applied on a standard issue patch. Probably done in Italy. I have had similar patches from veterans from Italy. I also have an 8th airforce patch from England that has had bullion applied to a standard issue patch.

Re: Newbie needing assistance to date and/or authenticate a 7th Army patch
Thank you so much for your responses and input. I'm new to patch collecting and my partner has started collecting some WWII era items but has stuck mostly with medals. Can someone educate me on why this is all embroidered? I guess I was under the impression that WWII US issued patches were partially made of felt or is that just WWI era? Again, I'm new to all this so pardon my ignorance. Thank you for any and all information.

US Felt made patches are, generally speaking, WW1 era. By WW2 they have moved to embroidered designs.
But some such as British made WW2 US examples can be felt construction.
Cheers, Ade.
