Patchcollector Posted November 6, 2014 Share #14 Posted November 6, 2014 Nice assortment of patches.As for ID,most are pretty self explanatory.Number 1 is US made,numbers 2,4,6,and 7 look to be VN war era incountry made.Not sure where and when number 8 was made.The 377th looks Korean made,which makes sense since they were in Korea,according to this Dustoff site: http://www.dustoff.org/patches/patches-all.asp High Flight Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silver wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle flew; and while, with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

firefighter Posted November 7, 2014 Share #16 Posted November 7, 2014 In my opinion #3, 4 & 7 are the best of the lot, in that order. ASMIC #1098 Link to post Share on other sites
vintageproductions Posted November 7, 2014 Share #17 Posted November 7, 2014 #7 is Korean made after Vietnam www.vintageproductions.com "A militaria show is a social event for anti-socials" - A.T. 2008 ASMIC Executive President Link to post Share on other sites
Thor996 Posted November 7, 2014 Share #18 Posted November 7, 2014 Bob, if you would please, how would a new collector distinguish an VN made from a Post VN Korean made patch? Link to post Share on other sites
gwb123 Posted November 7, 2014 Share #19 Posted November 7, 2014 #6 Might be post war Korean made. I've seen ones that were made with a shiny grey material, almost looks like sharkskin suit material. How to tell the difference? In this case the details are a bit less defined. Please see the attached photo.

vintageproductions Posted November 7, 2014 Share #20 Posted November 7, 2014 The easiest way to tell is the embroidery style. The background (light blue) looks very Korean. The biggest set off is the paper backing. The type of paper used on this patch is very typically found on Korean embroidered patches in the mid-70's. The Vietnamese used a paper backing also, but it is very different. www.vintageproductions.com "A militaria show is a social event for anti-socials" - A.T. 2008 ASMIC Executive President Link to post Share on other sites
quack Posted November 7, 2014 Share #21 Posted November 7, 2014 The 377th is definitely Korean. I flew with them in Korea 1973-75. Link to post Share on other sites
