Help with this USCG patch - Miami Beach

[LE LOUP DES MERS]

Hey, so I have been looking for this patch for a very long time and finally found one but want to make sure it's original first. I have a Vietnam dated USCG bomber jacket that's missing this patch and was wondering if this patch dates to the 60s or if it's a reproduction. I believe it should be the jacket size patch as it measures 5 3/8 by 3 1/2 inches.

It is a reproduction. 

 

Here are originals.

The one that you pictured is offered about every 6 months by the same seller.

That's too bad, guess I'll have to keep looking. However, I also found this one seller claims it's original from the 1960s it measures 4 1/2.

That's an original period patch, most likely a Swiss-Tex made in the 1970's.  These are what you're seeking...

Yeah trying to find that eagle patch but everytime I find one it's always a reproduction at least the other one is original.
