Sorry, Mike -- WW1 AIF patches were never made of felt! They were usually made out of a light broadcloth material, and by the look of this one, I'd say it's about right for WW1. The background appears to be added afterwards, and isn't the 2nd AIF battleship grey background. WW2 patches were manufactured in both felt and cloth.
