Gift from a vet

[jayhawkhenry]

These were given to me by a vet in the 70's who removed them from a uniform during the war.
Cheers. Henry

Henry, with that eagle the vet must have left out the words "reproduction" uniform and "Vietnam" war.

At least you did not pay anything for them.

Have a look at the first page of the fakes thread.

The sleeve eagle is certainly wrong.

What are the thoughts on the cuff title?

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and PM offers on the cuff band. My plan for now is to keep it as it was a gift from a vet and one of the first items my collection.
