From the Publisher

“With rising prices in the collectors market, reproduction militaria from the Vietnam era have flooded the market. This book documents some of the more common reproductions of cloth insignia made by US repro artists during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Over 400 patches are illustrated. Included is an examination of techniques used by reproduction artists, a discussion about authenticating material from the Vietnam era, and general tips on how to guard against reproductions.”
