MAAG (Military Assistance Advisory Group) Patches

I’ll add a couple of ones I have...

 

The first one belonged to a 30 year plus Army veteran who served in Vietnam from June 1956 thru December 1956.

And a few others.... (the sewn attached Vietnam and Thailand ones look a little new to me).  What are your thoughts??

I did not see these two among the group.  The pocket hanger was worn by a family friend along with the MAAG Iran patch who was stationed there from 1975-1977.  The US Military Mission Zaire I bought from a guy who was changing his hobby from patches to something else circa 1984.  He was also the one who told me about ASMIC.

Examples of this style have already been posted, but I was happy to pick one of these up for myself recently.

And last but not least, a few from Iran.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr., father of Stormin' Norman, as a colonel in Iran in World War II. Note the orientation of the SSI as he is wearing it is upside down from the way it is shown in the original post.
