EXTREMELY RARE, ORIGINAL , AUTHENTIC Handmade/Hand-made/Hand-sewn US Navy’s A-6E Intruder VA-75 Sunday Punchers 1972 Vietnam War Combat Cruise/Deployment while onboard the USS SARATOGA (CV-60). It says “WHEN YOURE AS GREAT AS WE ARE” (top), “IT’S HARD TO BE HUMBLE” (bottom), and “WESTPAC (left), “1972” (right), “SAGE (bottom). It shows the USS Saratoga (CV-60) as the top image, the VAW-123 Swirl (bottom left) and the SUNDAY PUNCHER logo (boxing glove bomb with wings) in the bottom right with the yellow/red background of the Vietnam conflict ribbon. This patch has “no” backing, a “cut black” 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 from THE BEST INTRUDER 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.
