Visitor Submissions Some patches are hard, or even impossible to obtain and preserve for real. These images were submitted by visitors of this website when an actual patch was not available to send. Even just documenting a patch's likeness is better than no historical representation at all! I hope to someday be able to obtain and preserve a real copy of each piece shown here. If you have an extra one of these for sale or trade, PLEASE shoot me an e-mail!
