This is an old Vietnam Era AIRBORNE Tab shoulder patch. It is fully embroidered and is Blue and White. These tabs are now obsolete. They were worn on the Class A Dress Uniform along with the unit patch such as the 173rd Airborne Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division or the "Follow Me" patch of the Infantry school. Before the Army went to subdued patches in 1969, they were also worn on OD Jungle Fatigues, and the older cotton fatigues. This item is 100% original and was obtained from U.S. military sources over 40 years ago. This is the older sew on type not the current velcro backed tab.
See Photos. A nice addition to any elite insignia collection. See my other auctions for more parachute wings and elite unit memorabilia. Buyer pays $5.00 postage and handling. Insurance, if desired, is extra. Email me if you have any questions. Payment in U.S. Dollars by PayPal (PREFERRED for immediate shipment). Item will be shipped same day as receipt of payment.
AIRBORNE!
With the recent huge increase in
U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we
have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas
mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
