Mercenary PRU - JEAN SCHRAMME

Originally the Patch of the 'Jean Schramme Mercenary Commando Group' that operated throughout the Belgian Congo and other African Countries, this patch was again used by mercenary advisors to Allied Provincial Recon Special Forces Units during the Vietnam war.

Although no clear information exists it is thought that members of the African Commando's were under the payment of the Government of South Vietnam (as were other mercenaries) and the patch originated from that.

The animal on the patch is an African Leopard.

For your kind Consideration.

Cheesecloth backed Vietnam War patch - Filler - Repro - made for collecting, swapping, made during conflict and through to mid-late 1980's in Vietnam - Pieces were made in Vietnam.

More recent, similar pieces are felt backed (I do not sell felt back) - if you have any questions about anagrams used, translations, unit location etc please ask – I am always happy to answer.
