Bearmon Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share #67 Posted August 15, 2017 Hello Sirs, I am a new member of this very interesting & helpfull forum. Thanks to condivide a very interesting patches from your collection. A Question : danger of copies on the market ( Nam made now ) of this type of USN patches ? If I understand your question, you want to know if Fakes are being made of large size patches too, the answer would be almost everything is faked. it pays to know what good patch construction looks like and what modern computer generated stitching looks like.

The Japanese ones are harder to reproduce, the quality was very good on those.I would research vietnam fakes, there are a couple of good threads on the subject. Best defense is education.

Salvage Sailor Posted September 9, 2017 Share #70 Posted September 9, 2017 US Naval Advisory Group Detachment Chinhae, South Korea 1962 1963 10" x 8" Advisor patch PS - Duffy's Tavern at NAG Chinhae was the watering hole for the Pacific Fleet Salvage forces for over 40 years (cheap booze, slot machines, 'hostesses' and live stateside bands, plus a pin monkey bowling lane and small theater) Fleet Activities, Chinhae had its origin as a US Naval Advisory Group in 1946. The Command was subsequently established as a detachment of the Naval Component of the US Naval Advisory Group for the Republic of Korea.

In 1972, the Command was reorganized as the Chinhae Facility. US Naval Forces Korea and Fleet Detachment, Naval Section, JUSMAG-K broke out to become a tenant activity. The activity, renamed in 1972 as Field Logistics Center, Chinhae, was disestablished in 1988. The Chinhae Facility was reorganized as Commander, US Naval Forces, Korea Detachment, Chinhae in 1978.
