Is that example genuine? Given that "everything" from the Vietnam War era seems to be reproduced for the tourist & collector markets.

This badge would not be for me. The french style attachment lugs, the manufacturer's name cast in the metal and the solid reverse indicate a reproduction to me. The examples Dennis shows are correct. By the way, the SVN Armor beret badge was worn over the left eye, as the Americans wore their beret flashes. The SVN Armor were the only branch that wore their beret insignia this way.
