Can anyone give a circa for this US military patch?

This seems to be a US Marine Sergeant patch.

My father-in-law has had in his collection of stuff for many years.

Can anyone tell when it's from?

I included a pic of the back because I know that the stitching could provide a clue.

Truly ironic. Literally about an hour before you posted I visited this thread to see if there were any responses that I happened to have missed.

As for that forum, I just learned of it about two weeks ago while researching another item. It never occurred to me to join and ask about this one. Thanks for that!

Thanks mallagante!

I've been trying to join usmilitariaforum.com since April 2nd and for some reason the admin there keeps blocking me.

Was it your intention to post the images upside down?

Nope! That was an honest stupid mistake!

I had some just like those back in the 70's when in the USMC. Sergeant E-5 . Looks like for the Khaki uniform shirt. If they were red, would be for dress blues
