KurtA Posted November 4, 2024 #1 Posted November 4, 2024 My big $2 purchase at the flea market yesterday. I'm pretty good with determining the authenticity of most patches, but with some patches purported to be VN era, I often times just can't figure it out. Especially some of the Japanese and Thai made patches and even more so, USAF. So, is this patch fake or vintage? Thanks!
Randy Posted November 5, 2024 #2 Posted November 5, 2024 Recently made, sorry. The few real ones I have seen were all Thai made. These were done in 1972 to commemorate the 2 MIG-21 kills awarded to B-52 tail gunners during the Linebacker II raids. Looks possibly Taiwan made, but in the 80s-90s. Randy
KurtA Posted November 5, 2024 Author #3 Posted November 5, 2024 Kind of figured that, but wanted to make sure. I’m used to losing on $2 scratch off lottery tickets. Thanks!
m4s88 Posted November 22, 2024 #4 Posted November 22, 2024 These always make me excited when I find them but 99% of the time I’m ultimately let down. Tough break
