This is a US NAVY (United States Navy) vintage patch from the 1970s to 1980s, sold in the shops at US military bases. In the center is a "bald eagle," the national bird of the United States, with a "shield" on its chest that is a motif of the Stars and Stripes, and an "anchor," the symbol of the Navy, at its feet. This design is based on the official naval emblem established in the 1950s, and is a historical design that symbolizes American sovereignty and defense from the sea. It is a used item in near-deadstock condition, with the price tag label from that time remaining on the back. #70s #80s #USNAVY #USNavy #MilitaryPatch #VintagePatch #USMilitarySurplus #UsedClothingCustom #MilitaryFashion #Navy #AmericanGoods #CollectorsItem #MilitaryItems #EmbroideredPatch
