U.S. Army 1st Aviation Brigade cloth patch badge Vietnam War.

'THE GOLDEN HAWKS'.

This is an ORIGINAL full sized United States Army issue patch. Fully embroidered with correct merrowed edge.

This is a genuine new 'old stock issue' U.S. Army patch taken came from a dated storage box. Correct Schiffli period embroidery. In mint unissued condition.

Important note!

In times past the U.S. Military specified that all sleeve patches should be made on 'Schiffli' machines. In more recent years the production of these insignias has moved to modern multi head machines.

This patch is an OLD VINTAGE PATCH made some years ago on a 'Schiffli' machine. It's a genuine item - NOT a modern issue patch and NOT an Asian reproduction. Note that it is fully embroidered and has the distinctive tell tale piece of tape on the reverse, typical of these older patches. It is also the exact pattern of patch worn during the Vietnam conflict 50 years ago.

Offered in perfect unissued condition.
