Vietnam War MACV-SOG Black Ops Patch – Viet Nam Hunting Club
Vietnam War 76th Infantry Detachment Combat Tracker Patch – Viet Nam Hunting Club
Original 1960s Vietnam War theatre-made patch.
Bright gold field with black lettering, red crosshair sight, and bold wording: “VIET NAM HUNTING CLUB.”
Top tab reads “76th Infantry Detachment Combat Tracker Team.” Excellent condition, cut-edge finish, vivid embroidery.
The 76th Infantry Detachment (Combat Trackers) was part of the U.S. Army’s specialised tracker program in Vietnam.
These hunter-killer teams combined American handlers, dogs, and Indigenous trackers to follow enemy trails after ambushes, sniper fire, or LRRP (Long Range Recon Patrol) contacts. Their mission required stealth, aggression, and the ability to operate close to the VC under difficult conditions.
The “Viet Nam Hunting Club” wording reflects the dark humour of elite operators – identifying the wearer as someone willing to be recognized as a sniper or long-range hunter.
Unlike small subdued patches, this large, eye-catching design made a statement of pride in belonging to a dangerous fraternity. It would not have been worn in the field.
Rare and highly desirable Vietnam War collector’s piece. Excellent condition, bright thread colours, no damage.
For your kind Consideration.
