If you would like to have it tracked,do not pay at checkout, but message me and I will re-invoice an additional $2 to cover tracking.
Patches are shipped with containment designed to be kept dry in the event of outside package moisture during shipping.
CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS:
- MINT Mint would be new in original packaging. The photo should reflect that item is in a package. If there is a grading of \"MINT\" without that packaging it is an error. Please call it to my attention.
- NEW EXCELLENT No defects, stains or soiling observed; Patch appears to be new, but it may be a used takeoff with no evidence I can find of having been sewn.
- EXCELLENT FROM COLLECTION May have stitch marks, staple holes or adhesive on the reverse side from a collector. These should not detract from the display-ability.
- EXCELLENT TAKE-OFF Patch should reflect the above grade of \"NEW EXCELLENT\" with the exception of stitching marks and possibly some loose threads. I do not remove any loose threads.
- VERY GOOD No defects noted; Not stained, may have negligible soiling visible; May have a minimal number of broken threads visible (insect photos carefully, and/or ask questions).
- GOOD May have soiling and/or some staining.Display may be impacted by defects. Minor issues will be explained in General Description. Carefully look at all photos. Ask if you are unsure.
- OTHER Condition will be explained in General Description Section. Basically if this is a patch you don\'t have but want, this one can be a place-holder for the one you want to display. This patch\'s display will be affected by the defect(s) described.
PATCH FRONT DESCRIPTION MEANINGS

- EMBROIDERED Part or all of patch (not just wording) is sewn with a fine, tightly woven, shiny thread making it more esthetically pleasing
- TWILL Typically a heavier thread used to form the patch foundation. Close inspection usually shows a tight pattern of diagonal rows
- BULLION Has the use of metallic gold-tone and/or sliver-tone threads incorporated into the image and/or lettering. Patch will be much thicker than normal and present much better in display than a patch without it having similar wear
