Anywhere from the mid-1950s to I believe the early 1970's.

 

MAAG Formosa predates our involvement in Vietnam.

What year did they issue the metal version? Has anyone seen a photo with the metal one?

I bought a badge like the one you show in Korea in 96. I believe yours is Korean Made. The shop I found it in had several pocket badges but when I asked about them and other insignia the shop keeper replied "very old no use no more" he was also not making/selling insignia anymore. He was doing unit coins and trophy type stuff. So not a real answer to your question but I would bet the badge stopped being used in the late 70's early 80's.

 

According to Aleck book the SSI stopped being used in 1984.

This subdued one is still on the sleeve on a 1971 dated helicopter pilot's nomex shirt. A 1st Infantry Division combat patch is on the right sleeve. The Thailand Air Force is still attached to a 1973 dated flight suit.

 

I love the subdued MAAG patch. Never seen one before.

Saw these on a boonie hat. Can anyone tell me where the Maag Thailand patch was made? Seems like the border has a little black stitching?

 

I know the coup patch is Vietnamese.

 

Thanks

One I have never seen or heard of. I assume Provicinal MAAG- Korea?

That's what I meant. The one time my auto correct didn't work.
