Early 1960s USMC Helicopter Grouping (VMO-6 & HMM-163): Patches, Photos and Yard Long

This is a United States Marine Corps helicopter grouping of two patches, two name tags and photographs. The larger patch is American-made and shows a flying cat with binoculars Ð it reads VMO-6 (for Marine Observation Squadron 6). The smaller patch is Japanese-made and shows an eagle flying with two flags - it reads SOUTH VIET NAM 1962-63 HMM-163 (for Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163). Each leather name tag is painted in gold with an eagle, anchor and globe and reads J.J. GRIFFITH CPL. USMC. There are also a total of 31 small photographs of craft and a yard long photo of the VMO-6 squadron.

Circa early 1960s.

Various sizes.

Two patches, one fully-embroidered and one on twill embroidered in cotton/silk/polyester threads; photographs on Kodak paper; painted leather name tag; yard long photo.

7 (Very Fine): Items are in various conditions but overall are very fine (yard long is in inferior shape to the rest of the items, but still good).

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
