Detailed Description: Unconventional warfare insignia, crafted the old-school way.

    • Unit History: During the Vietnam War, US Special Forces conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the conflict, from advising indigenous CIDG forces to executing covert cross-border operations with MACV-SOG.

    • Symbology: The arrowhead shape references the stealth of Native American scouts. The dagger represents unconventional warfare, and the three lightning flashes symbolize the ability to strike rapidly by land, sea, or air. It is accompanied by the "AIRBORNE" tab.

    • Cut-Edge Dating: This is a textbook example of Vietnam War manufacturing. It features a period-correct "cut-edge" rather than a thick, post-war "merrowed" border. The reverse reveals exposed bobbin threads with no plastic or glue sealant, guaranteeing its authenticity and age.

    • Condition: Perfect New Old Stock (NOS). Never sewn onto a uniform.

  • Technical Specs:

    • Unit: US Army Special Forces (Green Berets)

    • Era: Vietnam War (Late 1960s)

    • Style: Subdued OD/Black, 2-Piece (Shield + Tab), Cut-edge
