This item arrived on time, and was sealed up nicely in factory packaging. This Patch I would have to say is one of my favorite Patches. It has some really Sharp Looking Color to it, and it has been made with such good quality embroidery. I absolutely love this Patch, When I wear it on any of my Hats I always get asked about it, and get complimented on the beauty of this Patch. I highly recommend purchasing this Patch. Plus it has historical Value to it, and these days sometimes people that ask about the Patch need a History Lesson, and I am more then Happy to give them a US History Lesson.
