First Pattern 49th (West Riding) Division Printed Patch

Code: 230216

SOLD

A very rare early-WW2 49th (West Riding) Division printed formation sign patch. This is a pre-1943 patch with the polar bear's head facing downwards. After this date, a change in command dictated that the polar bear should look more 'aggressive' with its head up. In good, used condition.
