Description: ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, RARE award patch from the US Navy for those who have earned this prestigious honor. A Golden Shellback is one who has had the honour of crossing the equator where it dissects with the international date line in the Pacific Ocean. Rarer still are Emerald Shellbacks who have the distinction of having crossed the equator at the Prime Meridian in the Gulf of Guinea west Africa. This patch has "a thin plastic" backing, a "merrowed red" border, has a "fully embroidered" background, NO velcro, and the dimensions are shown in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6".This is from a retired US NAVY CAPTAIN's collection I just acquired, and hope to find it a good home. It was "MY" Cruise (the last A-6 Intruder Cruise), but I already have one.This is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can and is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the officer during one of his many tours/deployments.
