This product is a large vintage U. Navy 1st Class Diver plaque made of aluminum mounted on wood. The plaque is a military collectible item representing the Navy force with a theme of militaria. It originates from the United States, adding to its historical significance and value as a patriotic piece for collectors or veterans. Measures 19″ x 16 5/8″. I don’t know the year or era but it’s definitely vintage.

(LARGE) EXTREMELY RARE because it is an ORIGINAL , AUTHENTIC back-patch from the US NAVY’S USS KITTY HAWK (CVA-66)’s 1974 Mediterranean Cruise. It says “PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER” (top), shows multiple weapons forming the “PEACE” sign. This patch has “a tight cheesecloth” backing, a “merrowed yellow” border, has a “dark blue twill” background, does not have velcro on the back, no sew holes, and shows the dimensions in the photos… The ruler on the bottom is 12. This is from THE BEST NAVAL AVIATION 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.

This is a BIG sign. Scrolled twisted Iron rope design to the outer and middle frame the big cutout letters “UNITED STATES NAVY”. WONDERFUL Iron cutout of the US Navy logo and insignia to the center. There will be scuffs and scratches as they are meant to look rustic (and this just happens during the cutting and creation when hot metal pieces are flying around). This has been sealed so that you can hang it Indoors or OUT.
