Border Guard Airborne Patches Comparison

[pastfinder]

I thought this might be handy for folks to get a comparison of a used, unissued, and contemporary next to each other. I try to tell people I find the modern patches to be easy to spot because the detail is "too good." Here you can see this quite easily. Although it doesn't show up in the photos, the green on the contemporary patch is noticeably darker than the issued and unissued patches.

EDIT: I now have a version up with scans instead of photographs of the patches in question. I hope this is useful for folks.
