Description: This is a variant of the (Blue Book) J1 resulting from
our second order of the patch. It is known as the "Vigil Blanket patch", and like
the J1, it was NEVER sold and only distributed attached to a dark blue blanket
to a newly inducted Vigil. For more on the general issue and the Vigil Blanket
see the description of the Blue BookJ1. WARNING TO COLLECTORS: In recent years we have seen a few examples of this patch having been faked. |
