Hi Guys,

New to the forum, so this is a test of my technology skills!

Three patches from a collection of over 300. I hope you like them & hopefully I'll post more soon.

Regards,

Tony

Nice patches and welcome to the forum.  What would help in determining authenticity, place of manufacture and era produced are photos of the back of each patch for future postings.

They are all authentic, I can assure you that. I rarely post the backs of patches to an open forum, its just me.

If anyone can help with the manufacturer of the 31st I'd be really interested to hear, its from the 1980's as I have a contact who was on the squadron & told me they used them then. I'd suspect it was Philippines made on a mass produced machine, as I've seen another couple exactly the same.

The other two are hand made far east patches, probably Vietnamese from the late 1960's early 1970's.

The first one might be Vietnamese made.

The second one is Korean made.

The last could be almost any Asian country with computer generated embroidery machines, but probably not Philippine made.

Thanks for that. Why do you think the 31st is far east made but not Philippines made.
