    Description

    Original WWII period manufacture D-Day US Army 101st Airborne Division patch. The patch is one piece construction and was hand made in England prior to the D-Day invasion. One strand of thread in the patch does glow. It is either synthetic or was washed prior to sewing in a detergent containing phosphate which would cause the thread to glow. This particular thread appears and feels natural and is quite soft. Synthetic material has a plastic feel and is stiff. Consequently, I believe the thread was washed in phosphate detergent.  Synthetic thread was first introduced by DuPont on October 27, 1938 and was used as a substitute for cotton thread during WWII. As seen in the photo of the reverse of the patch, only a small portion of the patch glows. Either way the patch is 100% original.
