Late 1960's USN Coastal Swift Boat Squadron 1 Pocket Patch Saigon-Made

Late 1960's United States Navy Swift Boat Squadron 1 pocket patch. This example was made in Saigon and the center shows a large, embroidered number "1" with the word "SWIFT" diagonal in red embroidered detail against a gray stripe. The patch reads: "COASTAL" along the top and "SQUADRON" at the bottom in white embroidered detail.

Circa late 1960's.

Approximately 3-7/8" in height x 3-3/8" in width.

Embroidered cotton, cotton/silk/polyester threads, muslin backing

To be sewn onto uniform.

None.

This is from a USN collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAX16 LBGEX9/16 SBEJX02/25

8- (Very Fine - Excellent): The patch shows moderate wear, light soiling, scrapbook residue on reverse, overall very fine condition.

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