Red Tails Patches?

Does anyone have close-up photos of their original patches? I'm wondering if there were different types. Incised? Painted? Embroidered?

If you mean original WWII.
I've seen pictures with hand embroidered, painted and incised.
In the 99th FS the head of the animal was really square, remembering to me a wolf.
I've seen also big 99th FS painted on the back of a jacket an pin-ups.
I hope that helps

I think one picture with that king of patches has already been published on the forum. There was "Suicide" close to a guy with a B-2 cap. I think he has some incised leather on his A-2
