Capt.Confederacy Posted March 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2020 Among some recent additions to my collection, I got this particular patch. According to the book, "The American Military Patch Guide", by Morgan and Thurman (Page 67), it's identified as "USMC Airborne Vietnam", but I've not seen this corroborated anywhere else. In fact, Ebay has a reproduction patch like this one listed as "Airborne Short Timer' patch. Has anyone seen a positive ID on this one? Thanks in advance!

vintageproductions Posted March 30, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 30, 2020 It is just a airborne novelty patch. You will see these German made, Japanese made, Korean made, Vietnamese made, etc. They will be machine embroidered, hand embroidered and I have seen them done in chenille embroidery.

Thank you for the info and the quick reply. Do you have any guess as to where this particular one was made? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
