Incredible BDQ / ARVN Ranger Advisor Insignia Group

Incredible South Vietnamese Army Ranger Advisors Inisgnia Set. Consists of the SOG style shell burst Ranger Recon pocket patch, 3rd Corps recon scroll, standard silk woven BDQ patch and the Ranger Recondo pocket patch. These are all Vietnamese machine embroidered except for the shoulder patch. All are uniform removed, and when we bought it we were told Cecil Smyth cut them off the uniform and traded them to Richard "Smitty" Smith back in the day. Incredible group of patches. In all the years I have handled ARVN insignia this is the first time I have ever handeled the shell burst style that was uniform removed and about three times the size of the made for collectors pattern.
