Hi JWP
This looks like a British made AFHQ for US personnel. I'm speculating here as the embroidery thread on the face looks longer than US made and issued.
Is the patch supple and a different size from a US made AFHQ?
This looks slightly more oval than the round US version.
Phill
Hi Phil, yes the patch is supple and oval, not sure of the US size but this measures 2 1/2 inches height, 2 1/4 inches width.
many thanks, John.
Hi John
Yes that is British schiffli made AFHQ , compare to standard US schiffli made.
Nothing wrong with the F , the length of the F , and indeed the design , depended on the designer and puncher to produce all sorts of variations, which we collectors like.
I should also add British made US patches used a slightly different coloured threads compared to US made so have an "off" colour look.
