The original patches created for the battalion were embroidered on twill fabric with a cut edge border. Was it a prototype?. I cannot honestly say. It has a plastic backing, and may have been an interim or test sample before both of the battalions went to the consolidated design that would be worn throughout the 1990s and later, until the adoption of the Army Service Uniform.
