Tonomachi Posted November 30, 2016 Share #27 Posted November 30, 2016 This is what you have to watch out for. Someone first obtained a genuine SVN War era ERDL boonie hat. They then obtained a piece of ERDL camouflage material and had the current style Trident embroidered upon it. When sewn together the Trident is now a period piece from the SVN War when it is not but it was being sold as such for a large sum of money.

Spike Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share #28 Posted November 30, 2016 I don't trust ANY Tridents made on ERDL camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted November 30, 2016 Share #29 Posted November 30, 2016 I don't trust ANY Tridents made on ERDL camo. Isn't this an original SVN War direct embroidery Trident on ERDL camouflage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted November 30, 2016 Share #30 Posted November 30, 2016 I think what Mike is saying is that he doesn't trust the Trident's that are sewn on erdl material as a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digi-shots Posted December 4, 2016 Share #34 Posted December 4, 2016 Here are a couple of SEAL Trident insignias... some marked, some not, hollow back & solid... a "silver" one that looks like a hand sand-cast. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadet Posted January 10, 2017 Share #41 Posted January 10, 2017 US NAVY name tape and TRIDENT on Woodland BDU... This looks like what was worn in the 80s. In the 90s it was switched to subdued metal pin on insignia, then in the 2000s back to the cloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted January 10, 2017 Share #42 Posted January 10, 2017 Spike, nice white name tapes! Any chance they are named? (If you don't feel comfortable showing the name, that's ok, I understand) Kadet, thanks... wasn't sure when the subdued pin on's were used.

Kadet Posted January 10, 2017 Share #43 Posted January 10, 2017 Speaking of tapes, what are the thoughts on these? I'm fairly certain the top three are original...not sure about the bottom, although the construction seems right. I have very little in these so it won't break my heart either way. I'm putting together a display of VN - 70s era SEAL/UDT insignia for my office but only want original items in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digi-shots Posted January 10, 2017 Share #45 Posted January 10, 2017 Kadet.... .LOL ! Sure you still have these...? I have the same exact ones in my "unknown" drawer... I'd like to move them to my display area but just not sure if they are good or not. I'll post some pics in a few minutes. With the snow we've had, I've had some spare time to move things around and photo some stuff. I've got a couple of late 1960's and 1970's items and would like to include these names tapes. I just don't want the fake stuff to take away from some of the known good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted January 10, 2017 Share #46 Posted January 10, 2017 Spike, here are the name tapes that are similar to yours. You can see a bit of variation in color on these tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted January 10, 2017 Share #47 Posted January 10, 2017 I thought while I had the other tapes out, I'd photo these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted January 10, 2017 Share #48 Posted January 10, 2017 Kadet, sorry about that.... said Spike, but meant similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted January 10, 2017 Share #49 Posted January 10, 2017 Wow. Deja vu. I am almost certain my top two are originals. They have an almost emerald green color, and I have seen these applied to uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share #50 Posted January 10, 2017 The dark green ones are legit and are seen in pictures. I'm not sure about the grey-ish ones. I have a bunch of them as well, one of them being UDT/TI. digi-shots, yes, both shirts are named to the same man and have white name tapes.
