A nice US Army Parachute Infantry cap patch

This is a good example of a American army Parachute Infantry cap patch. These patches were done on wool or ribbed cotton material like this example.b These patches were worn on the overseas caps of all parachute-borne US Airborne Infantry troopers, until it was replaced by the “Paraglide” combined parachute/glider patch in August, 1944. This pattern, with an embroidered parachute on a blue backing, is regarded as an early type. It has a parachute emblem that is embroidered in cotton thread on a textbook light blue backing, made of a thin material with a twill weave.
