THIS WILD GEESE PATCH IS AN ORIGINAL, AND SCARCE. PATCHES WERE MADE IN THE EARLY 1980's, AND SOLD TO RAISE FUNDS TOWARDS MIKE HOARE'S LEGAL FEES, AFTER THE FAILED 1981 SEYCHELLES COUP ATTEMPT. THE WILD GEESE WAS THE NICKNAME OF MAD MIKE HOARES 5 COMMANDO (ARMEE NATIONALE CONGOLAISE) DURING THE SIMBA REBELLION OF THE CONGO CRISIS 1964/65. MIKE HOARE WAS OF IRISH DESCENT, AND THE TERM WILD GEESE ORIGINATED WITH IRISHMEN, WHO FOUGHT FOR THE EXILED STUARTS DURING THE 17th AND 18th CENTURIES. THIS BADGE BELONGED TO THE LATE BILL JACOBS, WHO WAS AN ADVISOR ON THE MOVIE SET, AN EX 5 COMMANDO RSM WHO DID 2 TOURS IN THE CONGO. THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE BADGE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY FRAMED (SEE PICS OF THE FRAME, WHICH WILL NOT BE SENT TO THE WINNER, UNLESS REQUESTED)
