These patches belonged to my Father '68-69 & '70-'71. There is also one from Germany where he was stationed in '75.Also his short-time calender and wallet which has his ID and weapons issued cards. Some patches are theater made. These pathes are a minefield now with thousands of repro's from Vietnam flooding the market via Eban!

Great patches with a great connection!
You are certainly right about the fakes. I have seen VN made patches with "cell phone ads" on the VN paper they used as backing...oops! But there are many more well made ones that would fool all but the most seasoned collector. A dangerous era to collect.
I love that "short timer" calendar!
