    I ran across 4 of these in a lot with 4 different Vietnam pins from a GREAT seller who is helping his Dad sell off his collection that's 45+ years in the making and have been blessed to have bought many nice buttons from them but they surprised me this time by sending 6 of these rather then the 4 that I was expecting plus 10 other Vietnam buttons, I passed on the deals to a few other collectors and still have a few to boot.
    Peace
