USMC 4/11 ARTILLERY ! 4th Battalion/11th Marines ! PATCH ! 4th Bn/11th Mar RARE!

Description

Attention all Marines and Marine Corps patch enthusiasts!  This is a FINE example of a unit logo patch for
Fourth Battalion, Eleventh Marines.
These can't be found just anywhere!
Not, of course, allowed on the uniform, but worn on all manner of off-duty civilian caps and clothing as novelty items.
4th Bn, 11th Marines (Artillery) has a long, distinguished list of battle honors, from
WWII
to
Korea
and on to
Vietnam
where the battalion served with 1st Marine Division from 1966-1970.  I believe the main weapon of this battalion was the 155mm howitzer.  (In Vietnam it was probably the self-propelled M-109.)
Recent Decades:
I don’t find mention of 4/11 in any of my Desert Storm histories, but did run across info that led me to believe the battalion was deactivated in the late eighties.  On the official 11th Marines web page, 4th Battalion is not listed.  So that makes this patch a
rare commemorative
for veterans and collectors!
This is a BRAND NEW and UNUSED patch.  It is NOT a war relic but a recent manufacture item!  Note that this is a
small
patch, ideally suited for a ball cap.  Embroidered on red twill with merrowed edge and plastic heat-sealed backing.  Colors are clean and bright.  See ruler in photo for size comparison.
Flat fee for shipping is .00.
Semper Fi!
Thanks for looking!

Contacting Me:
Click
"Ask a question"
link above to make initial contact, and I will respond in kind using the “eBay Messaging” forum.  Please monitor your
e-mail
and/or eBay
"Messages"
tab for my response.  I'll share my e-mail address in the response, and you are welcome to communicate with me via e-mail at that point if you wish.
(Your e-mail address will only be used for response to questions or transactions.  I have no interest in sending unsolicited advertising, and will not share your contact info with anyone.)
I try
to respond within 24 hours, but hope you understand I do have a life outside eBay, and may not always be so prompt. And please take into account weekends and traditional US holidays.
Messages communicating info about a listed item are appreciated ..... but may not get response quite as fast as a message that requires immediate answer.  I
do
have to prioritize every now and then.

Packaging & Reliability:
My flat-fee shipping structure covers cost of packaging and postage, and is a
best-guess estimate
for size and weight of items.  It's not an exact science.
(The flat fee is still significantly less than my actual cost for postage.)
Items ship in
zip-closure poly bags
to protect from moisture.  Items ship as trackable USPS First Class parcels within the US.
In my experience, the track record of
US Postal Service
delivery within the US is
practically 100% reliable.
I may
at my discretion
choose insurance for shipments of a certain value.  But the best insurance you can have is to make sure you provide a
current and correct postal delivery address,
and to check your mailbox regularly.
Items ship within
1 business day
of receiving payment.  Check my feedback for
satisfied customer testimonials!
Feedback:
I always post feedback after a completed transaction and always appreciate feedback from satisfied buyers. Normally takes me only a day or two, but sometimes I get behind.
Please be patient.
Also, if you are dissatisfied in any way, please contact me before posting negative. Maybe there's a misunderstanding, or something we can work out.
Return Policy:
"No Returns Accepted"
is my designated policy, unless an item has a defect or was misrepresented.  I go to great lengths to describe each item
honestly and accurately,
and there’s a
ruler
in each photo for size comparison.  I ask that you be sure of your decision before buying.
Please read the description entirely and carefully examine the photo.
Ask questions
prior to bidding.
I try to respond to e-mail inquiries within 24 hours.
Please resolve any questions or doubts prior to purchasing.
My Expectations:
Buyer’s
on-file E-mail address
is valid, and checked regularly.
Buyer's
confirmed ship-to address
is
correct
and
current
for
postal delivery.
Payment
(or communication indicating buyer’s intentions) within
three (3)
business days is appreciated. If no response, a reminder invoice is sent. If I don't hear from a buyer — in any form — after more than
ten (10)
business days, a case may eventually be filed with eBay’s
Resolution Center
to recover the
Final Value Fee
(eBay’s commission) on a sale not completed.  In the case of an auction, this usually results in the item being re-listed.
:-(
Bottom line:
Please
contact me
if there are circumstances in which you cannot comply with above expectations.
