Interesting 3 1/2" VMO-8 patch from the early 1970s. Looks like it is Japanese made. Anyone have opinions on if it is legit or an older copy?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Mark-A small lot out of estate sale turned up of these in Southern California about a year or so ago. The guy bought everything military at the sale and there were about twnety-five of these. The seller scattered them every direction as soon as he got them.

Mark, only a hunch... they were a small 8 plane reserve Sqdn in Hawaii and only existed 6 yrs. Given the activity of military on the islands during VN, they likely had them made locally...? But no doubt these are scarce.

I collect naval aviation patches, I'd put my money on this being a legit Japan made patch. Westcoast based squadrons even small units ordered patches from Japanese maufacturers. You done good.
