Re: Help with WWII patch

Out of curiosity, are you positive this is from WWII? Looks a little new to me, but I could be wrong.

If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post this to the militaria board, which can be found somewhere under "categories".

This seller listed it as a WWII Anti-Aircraft Army patch, but you will have to do some research to confirm:
