Hello James, The patch was made for the relative via his seeing another I had done some time ago , also for a vet's relative, the patch itself was made from an image of the actual WW2 era emblem which was I believe originally done by the people at Disney studios during WW2 , I made the patch on genuine Leather , hand cut , hand tooled(design impressed into the leather)Then hand painted by me, I use a "sized" paper copy for the impression part of the patch making process . Here's an "example" image of another patch I did for an AAF vet's relative so you can see the process and the finished item, if you have any other questions feel free to contact me again , thanks for your inquiry Note that the "CASU-22" image is of an original "decal" to leather image that I used to work from .

t’s incredible how you’re preserving history through your work. Do you primarily work with military patches, or have you done other historical recreations as well?
