Sure. The first picture you see here are some US made standard tapes.bond007a1 wrote:ok...Andrew...teach me some history...how can you tell they are theatre made???? Because I hear people talk about it...but I cannot figure it out!!!
The next one is a tape I had made at COB Speicher in Iraq just this past November.
As you can see, the letters are choppier, and the embriodery has just more of a primitive look. Also, the base (what the patch is made on) is different than a standard one, and a few of the theatre made tapes have black velcro instead of that greenish tannish. In the picture you can see this choppiness on both tapes, but the rank is hard to determine. Hope this helps.
