      I am back with newly found information. I have found this similar shirt:    Except this shirt has the satin lining on the collar! Then I noticed the similar features of the sleeves and the holy grail - the pocket to hold the monitor!   When I began researching more and doing some more digging, I found other similarities like these cuffs with the same exact holes:   Now I was curious. Maybe there is something to all this. I thought there was no way the other shirts would have the same hidden pockets in the chest pocket so I checked.   Now I was excited. Sure enough this green one also had the military tag AND has the silk lined upper interior. At first I thought it must absolutely be the red lining that every ace pilot had sewed in their garments until this post where I learn it might be even more rare.   I could find nothing online - only AI comments referring to this forum and these recent comments. I racked my brain vaguely remembering seeing these rare monitoring devices. If we could find them, the argument would be closed. Clearly, I am fortunate to have these rare shirts but where did I see those monitors. I know they have to be out there. Then right under my nose, in another area of collectables, I found them. Proof of this rare pocket variation and the answer to shock the forum!       While I have many others, all with the same features, neither the shirts nor the monitors are for sale at this time!   Hope this info can be added to the research. Let me know if any more pics are needed. Dave

      Hi to everyone :) I found this patch on ebay. The starting bid is about 6 USD. I was wondering: Is this a real patch, that was devised as a kind of post-war memento? Like a reunion piece? Or is it fantasy altogether?

      I recall this being a part of a much larger group that was split by a seller on the bay. He was a US Army veteran of the Vietnam War. Interestingly the veteran engraved the back of his Vietnam Service medal, I might have a picture somewhere.
