A attractive (British made) US Airborne Parachute Infantry cap patch on felt (with a paste i.e glue backing)

This is a superb example of a (British made) US Airborne Parachute Infantry cap patch on felt (with a paste i.e glue backing) 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 felt.
