LARGE, RARE because it is an… ORIGINAL , AUTHENTIC handmade/hand-made/hand-sewn backpatch from the US NAVY’s USS RANGER (CV-61). This patch was created for their 1979 WESTERN PACIFIC (WESTPAC) “TOPGUN” cruise. It shows the US’Minuteman’ in the center of the Pacific Ocean holding his musket and says “TOPGUN” along the top. This patch has “no” backing, a “cut dark-blue” border, has a “fully embroidered background”, does not have velcro on the back, and shows the dimensions in the photos… The ruler on the right is 6…… This is a HUGE patch! This is from THE BEST NAVY PATCH COLLECTION I’ve ever seen, and comes from a retired US NAVY CAPTAIN’s collection I just acquired, and hope to find this gem a good home. This is an original ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can. This is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the officer (obviously, an AVID patch collector) during his many years of service.
