Need Help Identifying Military Cloth Patches

**WiGuard232** · 12-08-2019 06:02 PM

A friend of mine was in the Air Force during Vietnam and when he returned, he made a career of the military for many years afterward. He gave me a grouping of items to help him create a shadow box. Sadly, his memory and health have been in decline lately and he doesn't remember what the attached patches represent. They're most likely USAF related, but could be anytime from Vietnam up until the late 1980s. They're cloth with sewn stars.

Does anyone know what these are? Thank you in advance for your knowledge!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

They are not Vietnamese, US, Australian icon

or Kiwi I can tell you that. I pretty sure they are not Korean, Thai, or Filipino. That's everybody who was in VN and on our side.

That leaves you the rest of Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Could they be North Vietnamese?
