J3 Shield Backpatch


Blue Book: J3

Description: This issue was based on enlarging the original "Shield" Blue Book X1 issue. The patch was only used within our Vigils. Some were placed on jackets while a few were placed on the Vigil Blanket below the Vigil Triangle patch Blue Book J1. In both cases, this was done by the individual lodge member. The profit from the sale of the patch was used toward building an inventory of blankets and patches for the Vigil Blanket concept. Occasionally, a Vigil would give their second patch as a gift to a friend who was just inducted into the Vigil.

Period of Issue:   1976 to 1979.
Restrictions:       Vigil only; Two per Life.
Quantity Issued: 200
Characteristics:   Solid embroidery; 142x114mm.
