Lsparks Posted January 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2018 Guys, conjecture is that these are Korean Theater made. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomorgan Posted January 26, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2018 Could well be Korean made, what does the back look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted February 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2018 Sand cast? The Vietnamese did a lot of sand cast insignias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsparks Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted February 4, 2018 Sand cast? The Vietnamese did a lot of sand cast insignias How would you tell? The back looks more like paint brush bristle marks over stippling I’d guess you would get from sand casting. Casting of some sort is how I think they were made.

Tonomachi Posted April 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 3, 2018 Doyler is right in that they are South Vietnamese made copies of US paratrooper wings using their crude sand casting method of manufacturing. Usually they use a US made example as a template but this is a variant of their own. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
