Boy Howdy Posted May 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2022 Picked this up to day. What do you all think about it? Age? Authenticity? All opinions appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted May 26, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2022 I'm not an expert on these but I know they have been heavily reproduced. I've keep photos of a couple of these badges for my reference that I felt were real and they match your piece with the raised manufacture name and address. I assume these were worn during the French Indochina War era prior to the US involvement in the South Vietnamese War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preppy Picker Posted May 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 26, 2022 I wonder if a record was kept because they are serial numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Howdy Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted May 26, 2022 Wouldn't that be interesting? So, is this a beret badge or something worn on the chest? I can't find any pictures on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two sets from the first and Second Indochina Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivydiv Posted May 23 Share #7 Posted May 23 I believe the same 7th AB design was used on their patches during the 2nd Indochina War (The American War) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
