1st Cavalry Division patch Japanese make WWII occupation era make, made on a hand-guided sewing machine, typically a Juki or a Brother.  Subtle but-- it has a visible outline on the black fence and the horse face; the yellow background is in irregular, overlapping waves, and the back shows a sparkle that you just don't get from US patch silk.  Also, it's quite lightweight.  Super rare and historical patch given that this unit went on to the Korean War wearing their occupation gear. US post $5.25, overseas post $21.40.
