Hi Bill

Apologies for late reply , I couldn't remember where I posted my comment!!
Me thinks I'm suffering from CRAFT!

All are modern day reproductions some are computer generated, some are machine guided.The base material is incorrect, the embroidery is of a poor quality and also incorrect weave style.
The shape, designs ,colours,lettering are all incorrect.
There is also a few fantasy and made up patches amongst this lot.

Original legit Vietnam era have folded ends including round patches and high quality workmanship either hand or machine guided.

Once again Bill apologies for late reply!!

Phill
