Description
Reflective Ace of Spades Morale Patch R-POKERA-BK – 3.15" x 1.97" Black
The Reflective Ace of Spades Morale Patch R-POKERA-BK is shaped like a playing card, with the spade pip and corner indices printed in retroreflective silver on a black field. In daylight the R-POKERA-BK reads as a subdued black card; under a torch or headlights the spade lights up sharply.
The ace of spades has been carried as a mark of luck and defiance by soldiers since at least the Second World War, most famously tucked into helmet bands in Vietnam.
