Ian thank you.
Is the patch currently in use or is it older? Keith |

The same design has been worn for many years. The current style has a merrowed edge and is nylon embroidered with a plastic covered backing. Yours doesn't have the merrowed edge so it's either fallen off or never had one. I'd guess that if it doesn't have a plastic back and never had merrowing it's pre 1970's at the latest. If really thick cotton then pre 60's?
