This example was made in Saigon and shows a white circle with a black number "8" in the center and four frequency waves and reads: "DET" in red embroidered lettering above. The outer edge of the patch reads: "330th RRFS PLEIKU". The 330th was deployed in 1966 and was stationed in Pleiku, Vietnam.

8- (Very Fine&emdash;Excellent): The patch shows minor to moderate wear, a small spot of soiling (does not detract), colors remain bright, was removed from clothing, overall very fine condition.

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