This is an older now obsolete style Vietnam - Cold War era 82nd Airborne Division subdued shoulder patch for wear on the Olive Drab cotton fatigues, Jungle Fatigues and later Battle Dress Uniform (BDU).
The modern lighter colored desert uniform and Army Combat Uniform (ACU) style patches have since replaced this older type patch. This style has been obsolete now for many years. Patch is in excellent used condition and has been stored away a long time in a footlocker. The 82nd Airborne Division is the famous "ALL AMERICAN DIVISION", a unit that has served with honor and distinction from WWII to the present day. This Airborne Tab patch has a rolled edge, with no plastic coating. The 82nd AA patch has a rolled edge and cotton back with no plastic. This item is 100% original.

AIRBORNE!
With the recent huge increase in
U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we
have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas
mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
