I also collect interesting patches but am stumped on this " Rod and Gun Club " patch

I was wondering if anyone had a clue about the club it represented. Or is it a fantasy patch?

The "dot" on the map of Africa on the patch looks like it is Libya, maybe Tripoli more precisely.
In reading the style of the patch, it appears to be of an older construction, maybe 50's or 60's as there is a felt/wool base with gauze on the back.

So was there really an english speaking group of folks that had a " Rod and Gun Club " in that part of the world?

Thanks for your comments!

Yes, thanks 'dogface'!
With a patch you get a little bit of history to go along with it!

I see that the U.S. gave that facility back to the Libyians after Gaddafi overthrew the king and came to power.

So the patch probably dates to the 60's or possibly a little bit earlier.

Very neat patches Buckspen.
A little bit of history comes with each one and everyone of these patches is unique to the location.
I'm looking for a Patch Barracks rod and gun club patch. I was stationed at Panzer Kaserne just down the road and Patch Barracks is where I purchased several firearms while I was in Germany.
Five years later with a child on the way, I had to sell them off!

Here's an old Camp Perry jacket patch. I think 1941 was the last year for matches until the war was over.
