Hi Bruce
Yes WWII era Iceland Command SSI
Some collectors will say this is English made , based on the black return thread, however this is US made which uses Rayon thread on a schiffli embrodery machine.
British makers used silk thread

Thanks Phill
Phill,
I've now seen a couple of these patches for sale online identified as 'British made'.
So I'm wondering how you know they were indeed US made. Is your information from a written reference?
TIA,
Bruce
100% Brit made. Should feel very silky and flimsy.
Thanks for clearing that up.
And yes, the patch does feel somewhat flimsy.
