a couple of VN era patches

Hey all,

Was digging around my patch collection and figured I should
post a couple of the nicer pieces.


Enjoy, rip...

Back patch is great.
Do you have any documentation on the sog wing?

Hello Bob,

Thanks for your comment.

The SOG wing came from the estate of a collector called J. R. Nace, and purchased from Mr. Douglas P. Charles.

The receipt states SOG Phoenix wing J.R. Nace estate.

Hey all, Hey Bob,

I have posted a few Viet Nam era insignia and I would like you to look at them.

Have been a member of Chute& Dagger on and off since the early 80s.

Harry said these are bogus many years ago. I always respect his opinions ( but I still like them ).



The seller claimed the patches had been glued onto some sort of display board. I have not tried to remove any of the backing paper.

There is a possibility the CCS patch is legit, but I am not certain...

Welcome any comments...

Rip,

I think they are all repro's too. They look like they were all made by the same machine at the same time. I could be wrong tho. The CCS I'm certain is a repro. I had several of this one and another without the 1st Company tab back in the mod-80's. Decent repros. In my opinion, of the ones I had, the 1st Company ones lookd the best with at least cotton backing. The others looked good, but were wrong materials, synthetic thread, nylon cloth base, etc. I agree with you tho, they are all good looking patches!
