A true unicorn for Green Beret collectors! Up for sale is a genuine and exceptionally rare early "SPECIAL FORCES" tab from the 1950s–1960s.

It is woven with a teal/light blue background designed to perfectly "color-match" the iconic Special Forces arrowhead patch. This tab features classic vintage construction with a flat "Cut Edge" and a textbook white bobbin "snowy back." Lightly used with an authentic, "been there" patina. You won't find this at an average surplus show!
