Looks great! What's the size, and what are you going to put it on?

All credit goes to Rosemary ... she has great talent. This is a 5" dia. patch ... haven't decided what jacket I am going to put it on.

Very nice. It looks like I started a trend. The brown
background is non reg. The blue background is the
official patch.
The patch that is on one of my original jackets is the
only brown version I have seen, although there may
be others out there.

Here's the difference:

This is the only brown background I have seen worn by Lt. Barr

This is the real approved 95th patch on a different jacket I have.
This is the patch that I have seen on other pilots jackets, as well
as for sale from some patch dealers.

This is the patch I had reproduced by Roberto from the forum.
It was based on Barrs patch

Just thought you guys might like a little background on the 95th Patch.
By the way, if anyone has photos of the Brown Background version
being worn, please send me a PM.
Many thanks!

Jeff,

This 95th FS patch is indeed based on your original patch. I had it saved on my computer earlier but I could not find where I had saved it from ... thanks for posting here and solving my confusion!

Lt. Barr's is the only brown patch that I have seen and I personally think that the brown background looks way better than the blue one. That is why I decided to get one made by rosemary, since it is impossible to find one anywhere.

I couldn't agree more! The brown background really
does look great. It's also nice to have the wartime
photo of him wearing it, proving that it is not some
fantasy design.
You're patch looks great! Enjoy it!

AWESOME Roberto! Many thanks for the photo. So it looks like
at least 2 of these versions exist. I wonder how many more
there were?

Thanks again Roberto!!!
