Desertrat Posted January 6, 2020 #1 Posted January 6, 2020 I found this in a local antique mall, did not purchase as VN war era items are not my normal collecting AO and I wanted to do some research before taking the plunge. SO what do y'all think about it and what is a general price range?
Desertrat Posted January 6, 2020 Author #3 Posted January 6, 2020 IRN looks to mean Instructor Radar Navigator, BUFF definitely refers to B-52s which the 26th BS flew until 1968.
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted January 6, 2020 #4 Posted January 6, 2020 The embroidery looks fairy recent. Definitely not done during VN
Wake1941 Posted January 6, 2020 #5 Posted January 6, 2020 Odd to me as well, embroidery is not that old. Looks like they messed with the tag to remove the date as well
Desertrat Posted January 6, 2020 Author #6 Posted January 6, 2020 I thought the embroidery looked odd, especially the backing. The tag is intact but that blob is like hot glue, so I would have to be fairly careful to remove it to see a date.
