Military unit patches

[Mookow]

My grandfather is interested in picking up a couple patches for his jacket. He has quite a few, but there are some he hasnt been able to find at airshows and whatnot.

Does anyone know of some good online stores that sell these? He is particularly interested in some Korean War era patches from VMA-121.

Thanks in advance.

They've got one patch, for the Vietnam era VMA-121.

Don't just sell the patches...research them. I say this because patch variations in design and materials, plus condition can result in a simple patch being worth hundreds. It pays to research.

He isnt selling them, he is buying them.

Yes, he was in VMA-121. He flew close air support in a AD Skyraider.

Ok. I would have found it mildly offensive if he was wearing patches and he wasn't there.

He was there, but it is really hard to get him to talk about it. At all.
