Viet Nam War 1960's ARVN Airborne Divisions Shoulder Patch in Bevo Weave

Viet Nam War 1960's ARVN (Army of the Republic of Viet Nam) Airborne Divisions shoulder patch in Bevo weave. The Airborne Division was both one of the earliest components of Vietnam's military and also the most elite. Instead of holding a specific region, the Airborne Division of each of the four corps could mobilize in a moment's notice. The Division was often engaged in combat with the Peoples' Army of Viet Nam (NVA) and Viet Cong forces. The red, square insignia has a white center that features an eagle in flight against a blue parachute.

Circa 1960's

Approximately 2-7/8" x 3-1/4
