The page is headed “Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force,” and features a color image of the insignia below. A description of the meaning behind the design of the patch is printed at the bottom, explaining that the black background represents “the darkness of Nazi oppression,” the fiery crusader’s sword representing “avenging justice,” a rainbow comprised of the colors of the flags of the Allied forces to represent hope, and light blue at the top “emblematic of a state of peace and tranquility.” Central vertical and horizontal folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature) and scattered creases, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and an actual example of the patch. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
