River Patrol Posted August 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2008 Looks U.S. made HBT. I'm just guessing, but is this a Philippino Jump Wing? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Patrol Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted August 17, 2008 Bob Thanks! Were these worn by Americans? I would think so, but I've never seen one on shirt/hat/uniform/etc. Any guess on age? I'm thinking 1940s but I guess it could be later.

vintageproductions Posted August 17, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2008 You will see these on Civic Action uniforms and Special Forces, esp. instructors at the SERE schools. On HBT like that they could have been worn up into the 60's. In some of the insignia shops I was buying out in the PI, as late as the 90's I was still finding these in old boxes.

J_Andrews Posted August 18, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 18, 2008 Being SUBDUED I would hazard the guess that they date from later than 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Patrol Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted August 18, 2008 Yep -- I just wasn't thinking clearly -- this would most likely be from the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
