Gold Party Pin Guy Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Just a little off topic (not really), but does anyone have a photo of other RAD armbands in wear? I'm thinking of the ones with the eagle logo that have been heavily faked. I just occurred to me I have never seen a period photo of one, and not knowing my RAD as well as I should, wondered if they are fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've never seen a picture showing one in wear......CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coleman Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I do know the armbands are period as I obtained several from vets back in the 60's. As the standard political armband was worn on the uniform, I would presume the eagle format armband was for wear with civilian clothing. I also have never seen a photo of this armband being worn.

I'd love to find a snap of one in wear....CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
