Phantomf4 Posted September 26, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2016 Was wondering on thoughts on this patch, looks good to me but thought I'd get some expert opinions. It has a OD green burlap backing, the sides are folded over and looks machine sewn by hand. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted September 26, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 26, 2016 Nothing wrong with it. The green burlap usually signifies it was made later in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshistory Posted September 26, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 26, 2016 F/79 was raised in June of 1971. The green burlap or sandbag material began appearing in the same year. Many units associated with the 1st Cav's 3rd Brigade feature this material as backing. I think it's probably traceable to a maker near Bien Hoa.
