US Special Forces Patch – Merrowed Edge – Dated 1967 – Shalhoub Bros – Rare

 
  • 1 of 3
 

An authentic US Army Special Forces Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. This item is historically significant as it features a Merrowed Edge (thick border) but carries a confirmable Vietnam War date. The original box label identifies the contract as DSA 100-67-C-1365 (Fiscal Year 1967), manufactured by Shalhoub Bros. This serves as definitive proof that merrowed edge patches were produced and issued during the late stages of the Vietnam War.
