vintageproductions Posted July 6, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 6, 2019 This is a version that always has me scratching my head as it is late war period Vietnamese hand embroidered. Have seen a few of them so have always wondered if they were made for collectors by Cecil Smyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarhooten Posted July 6, 2019 Share #7 Posted July 6, 2019 I will rescind my early mourning observation of this patch! Well...at least early for me! I will have to side with vintageproductions and treadhead on this patch. After being reminded and having dug out mine for a better look, I would agree with the Cecil Smith reproduction theory. A real one has a lot better detail than this one! Always better to know what you are talking about before you make an opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
