    I found this patch on Ebay. It's one of the theater made patches the 473rd Infantry had made. So far I've had no luck finding the other. Nonetheless, I was happy to find this one.

    Nice find, Lou. I'd like to see a pic of it with a bit more light, though.

    Ah, much better. It looks like they used needlepoint stitches to add the "473" to the patch.
