Here is a very nice original 1969 dated jungle jacket with Vietnam patches from the 147th Assault Support Helicopter Company "HillClimbers" and 18th Corps Aviation Company CAC, "Green Delta".

I just noticed the spelling error on the 147th patch. I remember reading somewhere that patches made in country were often misspelled. This jacket has been packed away for a long time and only recently rediscovered.

Should I restore the missing sleeve patch and insignia that were removed or leave just as is?

 

I think the left sleeve had the 1st Aviation Brigade patch from the shape of the ghost stitching and shape. I am not sure of what the other missing patches should be on the collars and above the army tape. There was a new in package pin on style WO2 rank inside the pocket when I purchased the jacket, but the seller kept that.
