US581.)US ARMY VIETNAM WAR AVIATION PATCH, VIETNAMESE-MADE: the market's flooded with fake in-country, Vietnamese-made patches however this gem is very much original period. You'll agree. It's typical VN-made with machine embroidered on twill showing crossed shotguns with wings and '221st' above. Has machine embroidered border and gauze backing. On the back is really old typed label showing the name of the original owner of this patch and 'LTC. ROBERT S JONES, JR., 221st Avn Co (Recon). "Shotguns", Soc Trang (HQ) RVN June 1967-Aug 67'. Clean overall and removed from flight jacket. EXC++++
