Original U.S. ARMY Branch Tape | Early Printed Version | Vietnam NOS

1 of 2

A collector's gem from the early days of subdued insignia! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape from the early stages of the Vietnam War. Unlike the more common embroidered tapes, this is the highly sought-after printed version. This quick and cheap manufacturing method was used right after the Army authorized subdued insignia in 1966. Because the ink washed out and faded extremely quickly in the jungle, they were soon replaced. This specific piece is in pristine, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition—never washed, never sewn, with flawlessly sharp, dark text. The ultimate finishing touch for an authentic early-war jungle fatigue jacket.

Description

A fleeting piece of US military history preserved in time.

The Printed History: In 1966, the US Army transitioned from full-color (gold/black) tapes to subdued versions to improve camouflage. To meet massive demand, the very first subdued tapes were simply stamped with black ink onto olive drab cotton webbing.
Why it's rare: Troops quickly realized that after a few washes and harsh jungle use, the ink would completely vanish, leaving a blank piece of webbing. Finding a printed tape today with 100% of its original ink intact is exceptionally rare.
Material: Heavy-duty, coarse-weave OD green cotton webbing.
Condition: Mint New Old Stock (NOS). Features the classic raw, uncut edges from the factory roll, ready to be folded and sewn onto a uniform.

Item: Branch Tape
Text: U.S. ARMY (Black Print)
