Opinions? US army badges?
Got these a while ago, off a forum member but have recently grown worried about them...
No slight on the member there are tonnes of these around and everyone (nearly) is a copy... currently have no pictures of the back though... sorry. Tom

Tom,
All are VIETNAM WAR era US Special Forces pocket patches. Bottom right is the US MACV-SOG LSSG, a variant of Local National Security Group top left is MACV special forces SOG bottom left is the SF Distinctive Unit Insignia as a patch. top right - Mike Force MACV - Military Assistance Command Viet Nam SOG Special Operations Group I wouldn't collect SF insignia from the Vietnam War unless it came from a veteran I know personally. There are fakes of fakes. The originals were all made in theatre and worn as pocket patches. These look suspiciously new to me. My opinion, but I'm not an expert. Don

Sorry mate, definately reproductions. They look like the reunion, souvenier type patches.These can be found at most US military and gun shows for $5 or so dollars each.
