    Skladem (1 pcs) Brand: G.I.

    An exceedingly rare piece of US Special Forces history: The WWII Original Scroll of the 7th Ranger Battalion. Often referred to by collectors as a "Phantom Unit", patches for the 7th Bn were manufactured late in the war in anticipation of the unit's activation, which was ultimately cancelled or short-lived before deployment. Despite the unit's obscure history, the patch features undeniable wartime construction: embroidery on black wool felt with a Cut Edge and a standard "Snowy Back" reverse. Essential for completing a Ranger Scroll collection.
