How much value is knocked off if you open a kit that ends up being original?

Thanks for you reply. I really enjoy collecting the pocket patches, I guess it is just a personal preference.

And thats thing. Collect what you like. Whether its pop tops or rare coins. Its all about what you like and enjoy. There are less pocket patches/hangers than shoulder sleeve insignia

[Vietnam Marines Bevo patch - Looks real (?) But it's not!]

More like the 2000's, but still a repro.

Could be. But they were popular in the late 80s and into the early 90s. I cant think of the company that sold them out of their catalog.

[Vietnam Marines Bevo patch - Looks real (?) But it's not!]

Agree. Repro. Probably made in the 80’s. All the excess and horizontal threads

I agree. Probably a souvenir jacket. A real beauty

Hi Everyone

I have a couple questions and would like your advice/opinions;

In collecting Vietnam war era patches, are the enclosed pocket patches in hangers more collectible/desirable then shoulder patches? How difficult are they to find?

Thanks

For the most part pocket hangers had more common unit patches. But there are some that are rare and unique. I think the hangers are less common, but that doesn’t make them rare.

Is that an Indians War medal next to the GAR one?

That will make a fine wall hanger for any collection room. Love the Native American reference in the background as well.

Same. You wont see that now a days
