These two patches were in a box with a bunch Boy Scout badges at an estate sale. I'm pretty sure that they are U.S. insignia from WW II, but I haven't a clue as to their particular identities. Anybody out there have any ideas?

I am sure these are not ww2 they are merrod edge, but I cannot identify the unit

You are absolutely right. I nosed around on the internet and found that that merrowed edge was not introduced until the 1960s. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Ade
And what a great forum this is. I'm 70 and the lad who answered my question is 15. I can't think of a better example of how this forum fosters productive communication among people with a common interest in military history.
