I know what the badge is - Yugoslavian border guard - but I am curious if the patchwork has anything to do with Yugoslavia or it was just a coincidental match-up between the two from a seller who did not know any better?
I saw that one as well. I got a similar, albeit damaged "patch" last year as part of a group I got last year. The overall impression I got was pretty chintzy. My guess is non-military issue.

I agree about non-military - at best partisan home-made. But, I get the Yugo border guard badge (not the cap badge everyone sells) and this for $9.95 with shipping, so I'm not going to complain.;)

Phil,
Your patch doesn´t look like home-made to me. I´m pretty sure that´s machine work. Look at the red background.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again
