Greetings and salutations esteemed members of the swag community ..
As there maybe quite a few Returned service personal or families of returned servicemen or others that may have or collect memorabilia ..
My elder brother [ AATTV Member ] didnt see fit at the time to collect a badge that was being handed out to troops at the completion of training [ Night operations training ] by the AATTV team members . He was heading out on operations in the Mekong Delta Vietnam ..
Sooo I am trying to track one down to give as a gift to him . So if anyone has / knows of / willing to part with a genuine one or repo, I would be appreciative of a call .. Long shot I know, but if you dont ask you dont receive
From what I can gather there were two versions of the badge .
Thanks in advance .
