ARVN patch id's

[Bob Chatt]

Sorting a large collection of ARVN patches I recently purchased and can't find my references that don't do the elite or regular Army patches.

Would love some help while I look for the references.

Thanks in advance.

#4 which unit of signal used these colors?
#7 Graves registration?
#10 why the extra wreath?
#16 is it ARVN In all the older VICN issues it just has CAN-U-ID next to it?
#18 Ranger related?

Sadly that's all I have, and none of these are listed in there. (As you probably already knew.)

The Internet says #25 is 40th Engineering School. Take that for what it's worth...

This afternoon I will dig through my Trading Posts from Cecil's tenure as editor and see if I can find any others.

Well, I found none.

Which really surprised me; I thought older issues had more ARVN than I saw.

#5 & #6 pertain to Political Warfare-- either the College or the Directorate, but the emblems in the center of the star differ than the ones illustrated in the OND 1989 issue.

If anyone does identify these, I'd like to know the source, please. Obviously my ARVN library needs an upgrade.
