Description: VERY RARE (due to size), ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC squadron patch from the US Navy's VA-85 'Black Falcons', but was nicknamed the "BUCKEYES", an A-6 Intruder squadron. Attack Squadron 85 or VA-85 was a long-lived Attack Squadron of the U.S. Navy. It was called to active duty as U.S. Navy Reserve squadron VA-859 on 1 February 1951 and redesignated VA-85 on 4 February 1953. It was disestablished on 30 September 1994, over 40 years later. This is the large version of their squadron patch.This patch has "a thin plastic" backing, a "cut black" border, no velcro, no sew holes, and shows the dimensions 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. This is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only from the 1980s, so grab it while you can and is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the Captain during one of his many deployments.
