    Default 101'st Airborn patch - Screaming eagle

    I have my eye on a beautiful 101st Airborn, screaming eagle patch. Now I know that there are not many period WW2, so I also looked extensively at reference material. Like on Mark Bando's website. There I actually mainly see closed eyes, for example.

    Nevertheless, it is offered on a website of a reputable dealer and I would therefore like to hear your opinion on this, as I am in doubt.

    Hi HVM

    Post WWII with that "scibble eye" c late 50's.

    Here are some WWII examples
    Note how close to the border the khaki cloth has been hand cut back to the edge.

    All patches during WWII were hand cutback to the edge.
