-
The Rating: The Star atop the canopy signifies the Senior Parachutist qualification (30+ jumps, extensive service time).

Datability: The patch features a Cut Edge (non-merrowed) border, which definitively dates it to the pre-1968 era (WWII to early Vietnam). Modern patches have a thick rolled edge.
