My father served in the Philipenes and Occupied Japan. I've had his Ike Jacket since '53 when he died. Can anyone tell me where these bullion Patches were made?

Is that bullion over sewn on a standard 33rd Division patch?
I would guess that it was done in the Philippines, as the handiwork Japan, was usually of pretty high quality and finer detail work.
Can we see the whole jacket?

Jerry: I'm leaving for the Hot Air Balloon/Bike Race in NJ within an hour. I'll post the whole jacket when I get back Sunday.

Jerry:
I lived through the bike race, no crashes, balloon or bike. Here's my father's Ike jacket.
