GENUINE
America/American US Army SUBDUED ISSUE 1st Infantry Division sleeve
patch
Subdued issue first used during the Vietnam War. This is an
ORIGINAL United States
Army issue patch. Fully embroidered with correct merrowed edge.
The ‘Big red One’ Division was one of the first units to
arrive in Vietnam and was engaged in several of the major actions of the
Vietnam War.
In mint un-issued 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.J
