Has anyone seen or put there hands on either of these?

 

I've only seen them in " American Military Patch Guide" by Morgan & Thurman.

 

Thanks in advance Earle

I was actually in the 19th SFG when they wore the candy stripes but I was never issued a beret as I was not airborne qualified at the time. I'm not sure where the 'candy stripers' got their candy stripes from, it may be that they just got a blue flash and cut the end off of it, and had it sewed onto the beret below the crest.

 

By the time I got to a unit where I was issued a beret the candy stripe era was over. I don't remember seeing candy stripes being sold at the PX or Clothing Sales, ever.
